DNC: Jeffrey Wright Narrating Kamala Harris Video to Premiere on First Night (EXCLUSIVE)


Oscar-nominated actor Jeffrey Wright is narrating a Kamala Harris video to be premiere during the first night of the Democratic National Convention.

News of Wright’s participation comes on the heels of Sunday’s announcement that Kerry Washington, Mindy Kaling, Ana Navarro and Tony Goldwyn will host the convention, which runs from Aug. 19 to Aug. 22. Wright, who was nominated for a best actor Academy Awards earlier this year for his work in “American Fiction,” narrated a radio spot in 2016 for the DNC, urging voters to make history again by voting for Hilary Clinton after Barack Obama served as the nation’s first Black president. Shortly after Joe Biden endorsed Harris when he left the presidential race, many famous faces voiced immediate support for the vice president, including Barbra Streisand, Megan Thee Stallion, Sally Field, Jamie Lee Curtis, Cynthia Nixon, Spike Lee, Katy Perry, Kathy Griffin, Wilson Cruz and Charli XCX, who posted on X: “kamala IS brat.”
