Malcolm Kenyatta got donations from Halle Berry, Amy Schumer, and Flo from Progressive

State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta has long trailed the pack in raising money for his U.S. Senate campaign. But he’s got some star-studded donors.

The Philadelphia Democrat is far behind Lt. Gov John Fetterman and U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb in campaign cash despite a group of celebrity contributors backing his underdog bid, a closer look at recent financial filings shows.

The support from the entertainment industry shows how Kenyatta has managed to build a national profile from Pennsylvania, with frequent appearances on MSNBC and endorsements from progressive celebrities like director Lee Daniels and activist Gloria Steinem.

But it also shows the limits of that support. More than 70% of Kenyatta’s donors in 2021 lived outside the state, which means they can’t vote for him. And despite having some wealthy supporters — and the second-highest number of individual donors after Fetterman — his median donation is only about $10.
