Labour Party Sends Staff to Support Harris Campaign

The U.K. Labour Party is sending nearly 100 current and former staff members to assist Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign in key battleground states, including North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. The initiative, announced by Labour's head of operations Sofia Patel, has sparked controversy and accusations of foreign interference in U.S. elections, particularly from Republican lawmakers. Critics, including Sen. Tom Cotton and former Trump aide Sebastian Gorka, have condemned the move as inappropriate given the Democrats' stance against foreign involvement in elections. However, election law experts assert that it is legal for foreign nationals to volunteer for U.S. campaigns as long as they are not compensated. The Labour Party has not confirmed any formal coordination with the Harris campaign, and both parties have declined to comment on the controversy. The situation raises critical questions about the integrity of U.S. elections and the implications of foreign political support.
