Actually, I disagree.
Celebrities DO have influence. I'm certain there are a lot of 'pudding-for-brains' low-IQ voters out there who DO care what oprah, beonce, and even george clooney say and think.
Anybody with a brain already will vote for President Trump. The retards out there are probably already democrat-leaning, but I think the celebrity endorsements do make a difference as to voter turn-out.
I don't care who my 'favorite' celebrities (and that's a pretty short list, consisting mainly of Star Trek actors) say I should vote for, but there are millions out there who do.

Seeing that Kamala is $20 million in the hole, maybe some of these celebrities that supported her will continue to do so by giving her that money back.

Yeah... the video at the bottom of page 100 of this thread is pretty good. They mention staffers not getting paid, but celebrities getting paid. At the end, they mention she's thinking about auctioning off her campaign email list.

It's bad enough seeing your celebrity supporting a commie clown but knowing (fill in the blank) did it for money is a bigger stain.

Oprah is supposed to be a billionaire. She could flush a million down the toilet and never miss it, so why she would accept it, other than the love of money, is bizarre. Sam Elliott might need the million, who knows.
I guess the rest of the celebrities fall in between those two in terms of actually needing a million dollars. But, if this is all true, what they do have in common is that they are whores who will make a political endorsement for money like they're doing a toothpaste commercial, and not out of personal conviction for what is best for the country.

Rest assured, there are staffers and outside fundraisers who've already copied that list and will sell it for a flat fee. This was very common, even before email existed. Staffers would leave with the donor mailing list and then sell it. And campaigns "salt" those lists with names they can recognize, so they know who had it last. When I was writing copy for direct mail fundraising, I put my own name on a mailing list and used X as my middle initial. It was amazing how many different conservative orgs eventually started mailing to me using the X middle initial.

Celebrities are like that, they take anything for free that is not nailed down. At large industry events like the Oscars, Golden Globes, etc., celebrities get some expensive free swag and they happily grab it. The Sopranos episode with Ben Kingsley accurately depicts this.

News flash for the deluded leftists- Sotomayor is not stepping down from SCOTUS. It's just not going to happen.
But an even bigger pipe dream is that Biden would resign for the stunt of having Harris become POTUS for two months. It's beyond silly. Joe Biden's ego (and his harpy of a wife) would never allow it. Anyone who thinks there's even a possibility of this is hopelessly naive. It would also be a tremendous embarrassment Dems, who would never hear the end of it. It would be the stuntiest stunt that was ever stunted.
Only one POTUS has ever resigned. Nixon left the White House in disgrace. Even without Joe's outsized ego, he would not allow himself to be counted alongside a disgraced Republican.
The leftists are like jilted lovers right now, sitting by the phone, clinging to slivers of hope. January 20, 2025 will come and Sotomayor will still be on the Supreme Court, and Biden will still be POTUS until about noon on that day.
I want to thank the fools who've suggested these things to elevate Harris, because now we get to defeat her and them again.

I don’t believe one depends upon the other. In other words, the fact that there may be states that Trump carried that similarly do not require photo ID, does not diminish that fact that most of the states that Harris won do not.

The map TMats showed and this map are pretty close:
And yes, solid red states all require voter I.D., and the bluest states no I.D.
