Ben Affleck is lending some star power to a video supporting Elizabeth Warren’s Senate bid. The Democrat is locked in a tight race in her attempt to unseat Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.).
“Hi, my name is Ben Affleck. I’m from Massachusetts. I’m supporting Elizabeth Warren for the U.S. Senate," the “Argo” star and director says in a roughly shot clip. “I hope anyone out there watching will contribute.
"I believe she’ll stand up for the working person, for the everyday person, for the people who’ve been getting taken advantage of by the system," the actor, who grew up in Cambridge, Mass., continued.
The video from the Progressive Change Campaign Committee posted Sunday on YouTube also features other Hollywood faces, including “The Daily Show” co-creator Lizz Winstead and comedienne Sarah Silverman. Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) and Rep. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) are also seen voicing their support for Warren in the minute-and-a-half video.
