The Malibu protest stood out because it brought together both political and entertainment figures. Reports say several celebrities attended alongside activists. Emhoff was seen interacting with attendees and engaging with the crowd during the event.

The "No Kings" protests are a coordinated effort to oppose Trump and his policies, taking place in cities across the United States.



The Malibu rally drew particular attention due to its location and the presence of well-known figures.

In comparison, comedian Kathy Griffin, once known for holding a mock severed head of President Trump, took a photo with Emhoff at the rally.

Actors Sam Elliott, Kristen Johnston, and Nancy Lee Grahn also attended the Malibu rally.

Sam Elliott, known for his thick white mustache and roles in 'The Big Lebowski' and his Oscar-nominated performance in 'A Star is Born,' wore a shirt that read: “Vote the bum out.”

“Malibu had a great turnout today. Power to the people!!” Kathy Griffin wrote in an her Instagram post from the event.



Her work in liberal spaces is well known, and she has been a prominent anti-Trump activist. She held a sign calling ICE “Trump’s Lawless Militia.”

Meanwhile, Doug Emhoff has remained politically active since his wife lost the presidential election in 2024.

However, his law firm, Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, conceded to the Trump administration, offering millions in pro bono services to avoid an executive order targeting the firm.

He publicly disagreed with the decision and wanted to challenge the executive order but was overruled, CNN reported.

Harris was recently forced to cancel several promotional events for her memoir '107 Days' in California amid controversy over her use of taxpayer-funded security.
