Report: Harris Campaign $20 Million in Debt, ‘Harris Fight Fund’ Asking for Donations

Report: Harris Campaign $20 Million in Debt, ‘Harris Fight Fund’ Asking for Donations

The campaign is apparently trying to sell its email lists.

VP Kamala Harris’s campaign raised $1 billion, almost three times as much as President-elect Donald Trump.

The campaign is reportedly $20 million in debt. It’s still asking for donations and has even offered to sell its email lists.

I’ve been getting emails asking me to donate to the “Harris Fight Fund.”

Puck News’s Tara Palmeri reported the campaign “has essentially burned its entire cash reserve” despite having $118 million since October 6:

Contributions are still trickling in, according to a D.N.C. source, who said the campaign’s total debt will almost certainly be lower once all the incoming money is accounted for. (They have until December 15 to submit their fourth-quarter campaign finance report.) Nevertheless, I’m told by campaign sources, the Harris camp is now reaching out to Democratic groups to sell her vast dataset of supporter emails and phone numbers to offset those losses—a common tactic among both Democrats and Republicans. (Yes, Obama did it too…) How valuable is Harris’s supporter list? Given donor fatigue at both the small-dollar and high-dollar donor levels, any buyer may find them already strip-mined of much of their value.

The Harris campaign is pursuing other tactics, too. It has already launched a post-election fundraising campaign on KamalaHarris.com called the “Harris Fight Fund,” whose stated mission is to maintain staffing in states where Senate and House races are still too close to call. Texts from “Tim Walz” were still requesting $40 for the Harris Fight Fund a full two days after the polls closed. Whatever donations “Tim” or any of the other solicitors collect goes to the Democratic National Committee, to offset the campaign debt they’ll inherit.

The news comes as whispers from Democrats show a party in disarray—lots of finger-pointing and throwing blame around for the historic loss.

A former DNC consultant told Palmeri, “Instead of owning any mistakes, or being transparent about the voter data and strategies that were so obviously wrong, they shut off their Twitter account and are patting each other on the back.”

Harris’s top advisor, David Plouffe, deleted his X account.

The same consultant said the party “spent money in stupid ways because we had a really bad strategy.” He mentioned the party pouring money on Colin Allred’s Senate race in Texas (did they really expect him to beat Ted Cruz?) and in Iowa even though it hasn’t won the state since 2012.

Others told Palmeri that the Harris campaign kept many in the dark about the budget. Apparently Harris didn’t even “know she was in debt.”

What a pile of crooks. I don’t even see how this is possible.

They should be investigated thoroughly for embezzlement.

Not a big deal considering it represents a mere 2 percent of the amount raised.

Strap on the knee pads, Cackles, and buy some breath mints. You know the rest.

The vile, stupid and perennially fiscally illiterate Dhimmi-crats manage their campaign finances and coffers as profligately, flippantly and imprudently as they manage state and federal finances.

Last I heard is that the Kamala Campaign is attempting to sell off it’s fundraiser donation email list to cover the debt they’re in. Wonder how her supporters feel about that. Their names and email addresses being sold to some random third-party company so that they can be inundated by spam in their inbox.

    The Democrats mentally abused their base, driving them to insanity with absurd claims of Trump as Hitler, only to then turn 180° and crow about “peaceful transfer of power” to said Neo-Hitler. (lol?WTF?)

    Selling their email addresses is probably the least abuse these people have suffered from the hands of their political masters.

The donation solicitation is less than honest. It doesn’t mention the debt the party has to pay off and pretends that all funds will go towards “fighting” Trump. How is this not fraud?

The blew over 1 BILLION DOLLARS in 3 months. Most campaigns don’t spend anywhere near that much….

“<emApparently Harris didn’t even “know she was in debt.”

Well, THAT sounds about right…..
