“I don’t recall anything like this where all of a sudden, it became exciting and hopeful and a total turnaround,” Fonda said, according to Variety. “And I know we all feel the excitement, but don’t you also feel the vast potential for the future that has opened up? It’s not just because the orange man is terrible, it’s because Kamala is the leader we need right now. She’s fierce, she’s smart, she’s experienced and she can beat him.”

Other people who were on the “Elders for Kamala” call hosted by Third Act, were Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), singer-actress Bette Midler, and John Kerry, the U.S. special envoy on climate, among many others.
