In a recent turn of events, Kamala Harris, the Vice President and former assistant to her boss, has decided to enter Hollywood by signing a deal with a talent agency. The talent agency named Creative Artists Agency, known for its work in sports and talent-based in Los Angeles, validated the information, pointing out Harris will primarily focus on publishing and speaking events. Harris, on the other hand, has published two books thus far: The Truths We Hold: An American Journey in 2019, and Smart on Crime: A Career Prosecutor’s Plan to Make Us Safer a decade earlier.
CAA, Harris’ chosen agency for her Hollywood venture, has announced plans to work closely with Harris on her endeavours after the White House. The goal is to generate strategic opportunities that further boost her platform in association with the issues that she supported in her considerable public service career. However, the question remains whether her new direction will truly aid in addressing these issues or merely serve as a means for personal brand expansion.
In a seemingly nepotistic move, the agency also represents none other than Joe Biden. The agency previously managed Biden from 2017 through 2020, and he decided to sign up with them again earlier this month. Such relations indicate a rather troublesome intermingling of politics with entertainment, reflecting questionable ethics at play.
Creative Artists Agency’s reach does not stop there. Still, it extends into former government circles as it is in connection with Barack Obama, a previous President, and Michelle Obama, former First Lady. The trend of politicians mingling with the world of entertainment certainly raises eyebrows and questions about their motivations for involvement in public service.
Contrarily, Donald Trump proves a more crafty businessman, having charged massive sums for a meagre 15-minute conversation. As reported by the Wall Street Journal, Trump has proudly claimed to attain around $500 million from wealthy executives wanting to earn his good graces. It can be questioned if such ventures carry more weight than public responsibilities in politicians’ minds.

A surprising episode unfolded when A$AP Rocky was embraced by Rihanna following a jury’s declaration of his innocence in a handgun-related incident against an ex-friend in 2021. This unexpected twist may be indicative of where reconciliation and restoration stand in the public eye.
In the political landscape, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, spotted an indictment against him involving an outrageous scheme to poison his opponent and remain in power post his 2021 election defeat.

The U.S. hockey team expressed a desire for Donald Trump to root for them in their game against Canada this week. Having Trump’s backing implies a win would be far from support for Joe Biden or Kamala Harris, whose interests seem to be tied to personal growth and ambitions.
