California Sen. Kamala Harris posed with Star Wars star Mark Hamill ahead of their Tuesday night appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” hours after a CNN poll named her third in line for the Democratic Presidential nomination.
“The force is strong tonight on @JimmyKimmelLive,” the tweet read, featuring a photo of Harris and Hamill smiling for the camera and laughing.
Hamill, most famous for his role as Luke Skywalker, has openly criticized President Donald Trump, even saying on a December 2018 episode of the “Cape Up” podcast that he ranks classic villain Darth Vader above the president, “because Darth Vader repented.” Former Vice President Joe Biden leads the pack at 28 percent support. Although Biden has not formally announced his intent to run, Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that he said to “at least a half-dozen supporters” he planned to make his candidacy official once his fundraising numbers reached “several million.”
The poll also finds enthusiasm about voting next year surpasses every presidential contest since the turn of this century. Four in 10 voters say they are"extremely enthusiastic" about voting for president, far outpacing early reads in other recent presidential contests. According to CNN, the network first began asking this question in the 2004 election cycle, and the previous high point among registered voters was 37 percent just days before the 2008 election.
