Kamala Harris Campaign Faces Significant Debt

Kamala Harris' presidential campaign, which raised over $1 billion, is now reportedly facing tens of millions in debt, raising concerns among Democratic National Committee (DNC) leaders about the financial implications for the party's future. Despite the significant fundraising, the campaign spent nearly $1.4 billion, including large payments to celebrities and media consultants, leading to frustrations over its financial management. DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison has privately criticized the campaign's spending habits, while many within the party are bewildered by the campaign's failure to win any swing states despite its massive expenditures. The Harris campaign is continuing to solicit donations even after its defeat, which has drawn ire from some former staffers who find this practice distasteful. The accumulated debt could hinder the DNC's ability to prepare for upcoming elections, echoing concerns from past election cycles where debt affected party performance. As the campaign wraps up, the exact debt amount remains unclear as it continues to receive bills from vendors and seek contributions from supporters.
