Former Vice President Kamala Harris has signed with one of Hollywood’s top talent agencies.
The Creative Artists Agency deal will open speaking and publishing opportunities for the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee, according to a Wednesday Instagram announcement post by the firm.
Harris joins a slate of executive branch alumni to sign on with the Los Angeles-based agency, which also represents former President Joe Biden as well as former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama.
“CAA will work closely with Harris on her post-White House initiatives, creating strategic opportunities that expand her platform in support of the issues she has championed throughout her decades-long career in public service,” the agency wrote.
The announcement comes after Harris’s term in the Biden administration concluded last month when her election opponent, now President Donald Trump, was sworn back into office.
Biden talent deal also announced this month
Earlier this month, CCA announced Biden signed with the agency that previously represented him between 2017 and 2020.
“President Biden is one of America’s most respected and influential voices in national and global affairs,” CCA co-chairman Richard Lovett said in a Feb. 3 Instagram post. “His lifelong commitment to public service is one of unity, optimism, dignity, and possibility. We are profoundly honored to partner with him again.”
Through his first CAA stint, Biden published a 2017 memoir opening up about his late son Beau’s battle with cancer and titled the book “Promise Me, Dad.” A nationwide book tour followed ahead of his 2020 campaign for president.
