Pennsylvania Democrat U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman is boasting about his support from pro-defund the police Hollywood celebrities one week away from midterm elections.
Fetterman, who has consistently attacked Republican Senate candidate Mehmet Oz for his status as a celebrity, is using endorsements from actress Kerry Washington and singer John Legend as part of his last-minute effort to drive voters his way.
“Kerry is on #TeamFetterman and is asking if you can Handle It + donate $10 before our final end-of-month deadline tonight,” Fetterman tweeted on Monday.

However, Washington advocated for defunding the police and called on local governments to “put resources towards community-led solutions, not a system that continues to kill us and put us in cages,” during the summer 2020 riots in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death.
