When it comes to politics, Hollywood is predictable, and it’s paying off in a big way for 2 Georgia Senate hopefuls.
The cash has been pouring in for Democrats Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock, who are locked in what looks like a tight race with the 2 incumbent Republican Senators.
With the help of Federal Election Commission filings, we found the obvious … lots of stars digging deep for the Democrats, and Republicans … well, hardly a drop.
For Ossoff:
– Kate Capshaw-Spielberg ($5,600)
– Jack Black ($4,070.50)
– Danny DeVito ($2,800)
– Rita Wilson ($1,250)
– Sally Field ($1,220)
– Susan Sarandon ($750)
– Christine Brinkley ($800)
– Rosario Dawson ($673.34)
– Billy Eichner ($651.25)
– Kumail Nanjiani ($554.95)
– John Goodman ($500)
– Alyssa Milano ($250)
For Warnock:
Mark Ruffalo ($4,244)
Jane Fonda ($2,666.67)
Josh Brolin ($2,500)
Holly Peete ($1,300)
Rita Wilson ($1,250)
Kathy Bates ($1,000)
Susan Sarandon ($1,000)
Busy Philipps ($1,000)
Tracee Ellis Ross ($666.67)
Laura Linney ($600)
Andrew Daly ($500)
Taran Killam ($333.33)
Lesley Brandt ($317.86)
John Michael Higgins ($262.51)
Mandy Moore ($216.66)
Wilson and Sarandon double-dipped apparently … dishing out contributions to both Ossoff and Warnock. Busy Philipps and Mandy Moore were also among the celebs who hopped on the Warnock train.
Republican Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue didn’t fare well with celebrity contributions. Loeffler got $250 from Jaclyn Smith, and that’s it. According to the records, Perdue didn’t get a dime.
There’s lots of money outside Hollywood, and money has poured in for Republicans as well.
Remember … the outcome will determine which party will control the Senate. And, if the Dems win out, they’d have the Senate and the House … and President-elect Joe Biden gets a much easier path to push for his agenda.
