“We all know honor and decency matters,” Harris said during the event. “And it matters whether you are saving the universe from Thanos or fighting for the soul of our nation… If the Avengers can assemble from across the galaxy then the American people can get together from wherever we are, whoever we voted for in the last election, and whatever language our grandmother spoke, and come together to get our country on the right track.”
“Just remember how important this moment is and really show up,” Cheadle said.
“Vote Democrat,” Ruffalo added. “Straight down the ticket.”

The Food Network star interviewed Biden's wife, Dr. Jill Biden, for an online fundraiser, "Cocktails and Conversation," back in September. Tickets ranged from $250 to $10,000.
