Seth MacFarlane Hosts Kamala Harris And Doug Emhoff For $1.5 Million Biden Campaign Fundraiser


When Seth MacFarlane introduced Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and Vice President Kamala Harris at a 2024 fundraiser at his home this evening, his guests got a sampling of his irreverent humor.

“When I was asked to host this event, I immediately agreed because I realized if it’s at my house, I can drink as much as I want,” MacFarlane said, per a pool report. “I’m not going to get a DUI on the way to bed.”

“Anyway, now I wanted to get everything right to this introduction. So I practiced how to pronounce your name. Is it Doug?”

The Second Gentleman laughed.

Then MacFarlane referenced abortion, a major issue that Harris has highlighted on the campaign trail.

“Vice President Harris has been a champion of this issue, doing her best under the toughest of circumstances to try to explain to her male colleagues how a period works,” MacFarlane quipped.

The event for the Biden Victory Fund raised about $1.5 million, according to producer Matt Walden and other sources. About 30 people attended at MacFarlane’s Beverly Hills Home. The creator of Family Guy has been a major donor to Democratic committees and independent groups in recent cycles.

Harris was in Arizona earlier in the day, where she attacked Trump following the state Supreme Court court decision that upheld an 1864 abortion ban. The Biden campaign seized on court decision, as the ruling could help drive turnout in November. A measure that would restore abortion rights is expected to be on the state ballot then.

Speaking to the Hollywood crowd, Harris tested out a line, per the pool report.

“So we’re basically talking about Trump abortion bans, state Trump abortion bans,” she said. “So let’s be clear about that. Laws that are reviving an approach from the 1800s. Laws that make no exception for rape or incest. Laws that ban abortion beyond six weeks. Those are Trump abortion bans.”
