Hillary Clinton

They're all "with her."

The Democratic National Convention has a much more high-profile list of pop-culture names attending than last week's Republican counterpart. At the RNC, it was Antonio Sabato Jr. and Scott Baio, but now it's Katy Perry and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar coming out to show their allegiance.

Though Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has his share of celebrity endorsements, Hillary Clinton seems to have a larger fan base in Hollywood.

Many celebrities joined Elizabeth Banks in celebrating Clinton's history-making presidential nomination Tuesday night at the DNC by singing "Fight Song."

According to Politico, Clinton raked in $75,000 from Reese Witherspoon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Steven Spielberg, Ben Affleck, and Quincy Jones, who all donated $2,700, the maximum allowed for a primary. George and Amal Clooney hosted two fundraisers for her that earned $15 million, according to Deadline.

Even Beyoncé showed up at a fundraiser.

Clinton's celebrity supporters range from musicians and actors to Hollywood moguls. Here are some of her most notable famous endorsers and what they've said about her.

Sarah Silverman

The comedian spoke on the first night of the Democratic National Convention, saying "I will vote for Hillary Clinton with gusto."

Silverman was previously a Bernie Sanders supporter but said the people who are Bernie-or-bust are "ridiculous" and that a vital part of being involved in Sanders' movement is "making absolutely sure that Hillary Clinton is the next president of the United States."



Meryl Streep

The 19-time Oscar-nominated actress spoke on the second night of the DNC, and included Clinton in a long line of groundbreaking women like Madeleine Albright, Eleanor Roosevelt, Harriet Tubman, and Sandra Day O'Connor.

"Hillary Clinton has taken some fire over 40 years of her fight for families and children," Streep said in her speech. "How does she do it? That's what I want to know. Where does she get her grit and her grace? Where do any of our female firsts, our path breakers — where do they find that strength?"



Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

The basketball legend wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post about why he was endorsing Clinton in this "crucial" election. He first explained the importance of the 2016 election and then complimented Bernie Sanders for being a "decent man."

"But Clinton possesses that rare but crucial combination of idealism and pragmatism. She can both envision a better world and take the necessary steps to make that vision a reality," Abdul-Jabbar wrote. "In Clinton we have a proven warrior who has both the commitment and record of accomplishment to lead the fight."

Abdul-Jabbar will also speak at the DNC.
