Kamala Harris's Campaign Faces $20 Million Debt After Spending $1 Billion, Solicits Donations for Potential Recount

Nov 10, 2024, 05:30 AM

Kamala Harris's campaign has reportedly exhausted its $1 billion fundraising war chest and is now facing over $20 million in debt. The campaign has begun soliciting further donations from supporters, asking for contributions of $50 each via text messages. Critics have raised concerns that the campaign is misleading donors by suggesting a potential recount, despite no actual plans to pursue one. The situation has sparked a blame game within the campaign regarding the spending and management of funds, particularly as Harris had previously outperformed Donald Trump in fundraising among last-minute billionaire donors, raising nearly five times as much. The campaign's financial struggles come after a significant electoral defeat, leading to questions about its future strategy and transparency with supporters.
