The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is still struggling to repay Kamala Harris’s campaign debt almost a year after the 2024 election.
The amazing thing about this, is that it’s a reminder that Harris had a campaign war chest of more than a billion dollars, a massive sum for a political campaign, and yet she still lost and she still incurred millions of dollars in campaign debt.
It really is a testament to what an absolutely awful candidate she was and still is. If she runs again in 2028, she will probably be torpedoed by Democrat voters during the primary.
The New York Post has the story on her 2024 campaign debt:
DNC pays off $1.6M in debt for Kamala Harris’ failed campaign as Dems face tight race in New Jersey
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is still paying off shortfalls incurred by former Vice President Kamala Harris’ failed 2024 election campaign — with at least $1.6 million paid out in September alone, according to the latest federal filings.
The Harris campaign shelled out $1.49 million alone for media production and consulting, $106,312 for data services and $21,762 to rent space at a Grand Rapids, Mich. community center for an October 2024 event alongside billionaire investor Mark Cuban touting the Democratic nominee as the “pro-business candidate.”
Last month’s payouts push the total debt covered since Election Day to more than $20 million, according to Axios, which first reported on the Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings.
Former President Barack Obama’s successful 2012 campaign incurred a similar level of debt that the DNC three years to fully pay off, with former chairwoman Donna Brazile claiming the 44th commander-in-chief’s “neglect had left the party in significant debt.”
Harris made a “handshake deal” with the national party after Donald Trump defeated her this past November, under which the DNC agreed to cover $20.5 million in outstanding campaign bills, The New York Times reported in August.
It’s amazing that Harris was able to burn through so much cash in such a short period of time. It does not speak well of her, either.
Harris raised over a BILLION dollars for her Presidential run and was still so unable to stay within budget that the DNC is having to funnel countless more tens of millions into the open maw of her campaign debts. This is fiscal insanity https://t.co/cyPSzGLQiX pic.twitter.com/oKFDj7EdVf

This is why she wouldn’t make it through a primary. Democrat voters still feel like they got ripped off, which they basically did.
