After Biden withdrew from the next US presidential election, Hollywood Democratic Party staunch supporters such as George Clooney, who had previously played an important role in the "anti-Biden" campaign, also immediately responded positively.

Damon Lindelof, a 51-year-old well-known Jewish screenwriter and producer, said that the so-called "Democratic Ban" (Dembargo) that he advocated for no longer donating money to the Democratic Party has been cancelled. This gold medal writer who has created popular American TV series such as "Lost" and "Watchmen" is one of the first Hollywood celebrities to call on Biden to retire. Previously, he published a long article on the Internet media, calling on all Democratic supporters to unite and not donate even a dime to Democratic politicians to urge the party to find someone to replace Biden as soon as possible. Now that his wish has come true, Lindelof has called on everyone to act quickly, open their wallets, and provide financial assistance to the Democratic Party. "I am deeply relieved and grateful for the news that the president has withdrawn from the election. Finally, for the first time, I feel real excitement about the upcoming presidential election." Damon Lindelof wrote on his personal social media.

At the same time, many Hollywood celebrities, from director Spike Lee, the star of the American TV series "Vice" Julia Louis-Dreyfus to "The Hulk" Mark Ruffalo, quickly expressed their support for the current Vice President Kamala Devi Harris to run for the Democratic Party. By last Sunday, political donations from Hollywood continued to flow into the pockets of the Democratic Party.
Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, who had previously called on Biden to step down, also said in an interview with the New York Times, "We have hope again. Thank you, Joe Biden." A few days ago, in an interview with the New York Times, the streaming giant publicly stated, "Biden needs to step aside to allow a more dynamic Democratic leader to defeat Trump in order to maintain our security and prosperity." Hastings and his wife Patty Quillin have reportedly donated more than $20 million to the Democratic Party in the past few years. For the time being, Hastings has not publicly expressed his support for Harris's candidacy, but judging by the current situation, it seems only a matter of time before the couple donates generously to her.
