LOS ANGELES — Some of Hollywood’s brightest stars headlined a glitzy fundraiser for President Joe Biden on Saturday night, helping raise what his reelection campaign said was $28 million and hoping to energize would-be supporters for a November election that they argued was among the most important in the nation’s history.

Netflix’s “Ozark” star Jason Bateman urged President Joe Biden to use the nation’s Emergency Alert System (EAS) to remind people to vote in the midterm elections, saying democracy is under threat from Republicans.

Several left-wing Hollywood heavyweights, including A-list actors Jason Bateman and Jennifer Aniston, and Dreamworks co-founder and Quibi CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg, are among the top donors of the embattled Lincoln Project, the anti-Trump super PAC whose co-founder faces accusations of sending provocative messages to young men.

Celebrities across the entertainment industry, including pop stars Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, actor Billy Porter, and DJ Khaled are ramping up efforts to register new voters ahead of the election. In cooperation with the groups HeadCount and Global Citizen, stars are offering fans exclusive personal performances, happy hours, and even dance lessons to encourage young people to register to vote.

Kamala Harris has resurrected the false claim that President Donald Trump called the coronavirus a “hoax” in a podcast interview with actors Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett. The Democratic vice presidential candidate then called for bipartisan cooperation, insisting politicians should “put aside” their ideologies and come together to fix the country’s problems.

Netflix’s “Ozark” star Jason Bateman promoted his upcoming podcast with Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris on Thursday, fawning over Biden’s far-left California Democrat running mate. 

Arrested Development star Jason Bateman joined the plethora of Hollywood figures who have pledged to boycott Republican-controlled states that attempt to pass legislation putting restrictions on abortion.

Netflix’s Arrested Development star Jason Bateman says he is “incredibly sorry” amid a growing backlash over comments he made appearing to defend co-star Jeffrey Tambor over his harsh on set treatment of actress Jessica Walter.
