Will Ferrell stars in a campaign video threatening white men who refuse to vote for Harris to keep Trump out of office
Actor and comedian Will Ferrell has been recruited by the Harris campaign in a last-ditch effort to convince voters to go to the polls on Tuesday to vote for her.
In a short 30-second clip, Ferrell attempts to use scare tactics as he states how Joe Biden only managed to keep Donald Trump out of office by just a “few thousand votes” during the 2020 presidential election.
It’s Kamala Harris’ latest attempt to use A-list celebrities to help her bid, with some of entertainment’s biggest names backing her both online and at rallies, including Beyonce, Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen.
“This election will be one of the closest in history. Your voice will make a difference – that means you Gary…,” Ferrell begins, addressing the camera directly.

‘Only a few last time A thousand votes kept Trump out of office and this time we will hold you personally accountable,” Ferrell threatens, apparently addressing an apathetic voter named Gary.
‘Gary, don’t forget to vote for Gary!’ he insists before the video ends.
Last week, Ferrell teamed up with comedian Billy Eichner as part of a latest vote-winning effort by the Harris campaign, with the videos racking up more than 100 million views to date.
Eichner and Ferrell took to the streets of New York as “loud white men for Kamala,” wearing matching t-shirts.
The pair shouted into the faces of several New Yorkers walking through the streets, asking who they were voting for and if they wanted to “sleep with a Trump voter.”
“We are here today to represent a very important voting demographic, loud white man for Kamala Harris,” Eichner says as the video begins with Ferrell by his side.
Last week, Ferrell teamed up with comedian Billy Eichner as part of a last-ditch effort to gain votes for the Harris campaign, with the videos racking up more than 100 million views to date.
The pair ran around shouting at several men and women asking them to ‘join the call’.
Many of the people they spoke to expressed support for the vice president to hold the nation’s highest office, encouraging one man to shout, “I support Kamala.”
Another told the celebrities that he had already submitted a ballot for Harris.
At another point, Eichner joked that Harris would make “Buddy the Elf Secretary of Christmas,” referencing Ferrell’s role in the Christmas movie Elf.
They even asked two women if they would ever “sleep with a Trump voter,” to which one woman replied “no” while another made a grunting noise.
Eichner said he decided to revive the comedy bit to “do everything we can to protect Americans from Donald Trump in these crucial final days of early voting and exactly one week before Election Day.”

Both Eichner and Ferrell have been vocal about their support for Harris, with Eichner taking to Instagram last week with a video sharing his thoughts.
“It’s time to panic – and not just panic, but do something about it,” he said.
Eichner then called former President Donald Trump a “rapist” and “fake baby.”
“We can’t let what happened to Hillary in 2016 happen,” he said, adding, “The polls are not good.”
“Please do what you can, because if we don’t, we will regret it.”
Two days after Election Day, Kamala Harris sped through four stops across the battleground state of Michigan on Sunday.
At a rally at Michigan State University, Harris got a stirring response when she asked who had already voted and then gave students another job — to encourage their friends to cast their ballots in a state that allows voter registration on Election Day.
And instead of her usual statements about Trump as unstable, unhinged and bent on unchecked power, Harris sought to contrast her optimistic tone with the darker message of the Republican opponent she left unnamed.
It was all designed to boost her standing in one of the Democratic “blue wall” states in the Midwest, seen as her smoothest potential path to an Electoral College majority.

Republican presidential candidate, former President Donald Trump, is reflected in the bulletproof glass as he finishes speaking at a campaign rally in Lititz, Pennsylvania, on Sunday
In the meantime, Donald Trump delivered a profane and conspiracy-laden speech on Sunday in which he spoke about the shooting of reporters and suggested he “should not have left” the White House after his 2020 loss.
In remarks Sunday that bore little resemblance to the speech he gave at his recent rallies, the former president repeatedly cast doubt on the integrity of the vote and revived old grievances after trying to overturn his 2020 election defeat .
Trump intensified his verbal attacks on what he described as a “demonic” Democratic Party and the US media, at one point steering his rally in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on the topic of violence against members of the press.
He noted the ballistic glass used to protect him at outdoor events after the assassination attempt of a gunman in July and pointed out gaps between the panels.
“I have a piece of glass here,” he said. ‘But really all we have here is fake news. And to get me, someone would have to go through the fake news. And I don’t mind that so much.’
