'White Dudes for Harris' X Suspension Sparks Fury: 'Election Interference'

A social media account named "White Dudes for Harris," which supports Kamala Harris, was temporarily suspended on X (formerly Twitter) after a successful fundraising event that raised over $4 million. The account was restored but remains in "read-only mode," preventing it from posting or interacting with other content. Mike Nellis, involved with the group, urged supporters to continue donating despite the suspension, which he described as an attempt to silence their efforts. The incident has drawn criticism from various commentators, who labeled it as "election interference." Organizers of the group, including Ross Morales Rocketto, expressed that the suspension reflects a fear of their growing influence, particularly among demographics traditionally overlooked by Democrats. The fundraising event featured notable celebrities and politicians, indicating a significant grassroots support for Harris. Morales Rocketto acknowledged the discomfort some may feel regarding the group's name but emphasized their goal of engaging white men who do not align with MAGA Republican views. The group aims to capture a demographic that has been largely ignored by the left in recent years. The incident has sparked discussions about the platform's treatment of political accounts, especially during critical moments for Democratic candidates.
