According to surfacing reports and claims from a staffer, Vice President Kamala Harris’ unsuccessful presidential campaign was left with more than $20 million in debt.
Christopher Cadelago, left-wing outlet Politico‘s California Bureau Chief, originally made the assertion on X on Wednesday night.
“Based at the Capitol, Cadelago covers elections and political power, from the governor’s mansion to the players in Los Angeles, the Bay Area and Silicon Valley,” his bio reads.
“A Kamala campaign staffer who saw these posts called me just now and said there is a massive scandal here worthy of an audit. The $20 million debt thing is real. Rob Flaherty, this staffer said, is currently shopping around the Kamala fundraising email list to anyone who wants it to try to raise the money back. This includes other campaigns and outside groups,” said Matthew Boyle, Bureau Chief for Breitbart.
“Flaherty is the deputy campaign manager and reports to Jen O’Malley Dillon. Jen blew through a billion dollars in a few months and it was all Jen’s idea to do all the concerts.” — [a] Kamala campaign adviser told me,” he continued.
The over-the-top spending was attributed to campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon, who prioritized “‘concerts,’ like Katy Perry, Lizzo, Eminem, Bruce Springsteen et cetera, at the expense of ‘prioritizing and spending money on social media and other campaign priorities,’” Boyle explained.
