According to the Hollywood Reporter, Goldwyn was selected as the host for the opening night, while Washington was preparing to host the final night, where Vice President Kamala Harris will formally accept the Democratic Party’s nomination for the 2024 presidential race. Both stars shared photos with one another on their Instagram Stories, and Washington shared the captured moments on X (below).

On the third night of the DNC, former co-stars from Scandal reunited at Chicago’s United Center, deciding to give the audience what they wanted.

Mindy Kaling and Ana Navarro, along with Washington and Goldwyn, hosted one night each at a four-day event in Chicago. They provided opening remarks and made appearances throughout the evening on their respective nights.

Greg Propper, a longtime social impact adviser to stars like Washington who was tapped by the Harris campaign to manage Hollywood support, recently shared the campaign’s approach to deploying stars to stump for Harris with The Hollywood Reporter. After President Joe Biden’s announcement that he was stepping down from the ticket, Propper highlighted the enthusiasm that emerged within the entertainment and creative community for Harris’ candidacy. He emphasized that while there was heightened energy from celebrities, the campaign remains focused on being people-driven, aiming to encompass everyone, as stated by the vice president.

Washington started working with Propper and his L.A.-based firm Propper Daley in 2018. Two years later, she hosted a night of 2020’s DNC on Zoom. “This isn’t just about candidates and election cycles,” Washington told the Hollywood Reporter “It’s about building a future where everyone understands their voice and their power within our democracy.”
