The 2024 election has been over for weeks now, but Kamala Harris is still fundraising.
Despite raising and spending more than a billion dollars in this election cycle, Harris ended her campaign with more than $20 million dollars in debt. Even more shocking, the DNC laid off a massive number of staffers and didn’t pay senior campaign workers at the end.
Now Harris is still fundraising in a desperate attempt to retire her campaign debt and other members of the party believe this is very damaging.
Politico reported:
Dems fear Harris’ continued fundraising ‘erodes trust’
The emails themselves don’t mention debt, instead citing the organization’s support for recount efforts in close races and legal challenges. And the Harris campaign denies that the campaign or affiliated joint fundraising committees had outstanding debts on Election Day, and says they won’t report debts owed in future Federal Election Commission reports due in December.
But the fundraising appeals have still continued, and some Democrats fear she may be compounding the party’s problems with the tone of some of her appeals — damaging relationships with online donors who have long powered the party. In just a few months, the vice president built up a record-breaking fundraising operation. She raked in funds from millions of online donors within the first week of her candidacy, and continued to hold fundraising events well into the fall. Now those same donors who helped her raise more than $1.4 billion are among the people being asked to give more. The emails still come two or three times a day.
Many people on Twitter/X were stunned to hear this:
Democrats wanted this woman to be in charge of the US economy. She’s $20 million in debt. She’s a joke!

She has stolen over 1 billion dollars, can’t pay for the bills, lost the election and still wants more? She is a thief.

Continued erodes trust?
Paying Oprah for a favorable interview?
Paying Al Sharpton for an interview?
Way beyond trust erosion to me. I would be pissed off!

This is going to be a serious issue for Democrats going forward. Their own donors don’t trust them anymore and who can blame them?
