Hillary Clinton might've snagged Kim and Kanye, but Bernie Sanders has Killer Mike. In a press release today, Sanders' campaign released a list of 128 celebrities who signed a pledge that states, "We endorse Bernie Sanders to become the 2016 Democratic Nominee for President of the United States." The list, comprised of "undersigned artists," promotes "a progressive economic agenda" that "creates jobs, raises wages, protects the environment, and gets big money out of politics."
According to Buzzfeed News, Sanders' campaign notes that many of the artists listed have never endorsed a politician before, although some (like Mark Ruffalo, who begged Senator Elizabeth Warren to run earlier this year) are actively involved in politics. Notable names on the list include:
- Zoë Kravitz
- Will Ferrell
- Steve Wozniak
- Sarah Silverman
- Mark Ruffalo
- Ezra Miller
- Justin Long
- Danny DeVito
- Red Hot Chili Peppers (Flea, Anthony Kiedis, Josh Klinghoffer, and Chad Smith)
- John C. Reilly
It's a hefty list, and the sheer number of endorsements will be difficult to top. If Hillary wants to compete, she'll need to step up her game.
