Hill Harper Draws On Hollywood Support As He Faces A Daunting U.S. Senate Primary Race In Michigan Against Front Runner Elissa Slotkin


Harper left "The Good Doctor" to run for the state's open Senate seat.

Hill Harper, running for an open U.S. Senate seat in Michigan, returned to Los Angeles earlier this month, where the actor headlined a fundraiser co-hosted by John Legend, as well as other figures including Vivica A. In a recent interview with Deadline, Harper said of the former president’s comment, “It’s extremely difficult because of the way that the system has been built, and what I mean by that is, the sad irony of me running is that I believe that to save our democracy, we have to pull money out of politics and we need full campaign finance reform. Slotkin, the only Jewish member of Michigan’s congressional delegation, has not called for a ceasefire but was among a group of lawmakers who sent a letter to Biden in December critical of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s military strategy in Gaza.
