The Kamala Harris campaign for president paid off the television and business mogul Oprah Winfrey in return for a public endorsement.
According to a report from The Washington Examiner on how the campaign burned through over $1 billion in funds, Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Productions received $1 million in October for campaign-related services.
In return for this investment, Winfrey hosted a star-studded town hall and spoke at her final rally in Philadelphia before Election Day.
“We’re voting for values and integrity,” Winfrey told supporters at the rally. “We’re voting for healing over hate.”
It is unclear whether any further services were provided beyond these two appearances.
Once a beloved figure by the majority of Americans for her no-nonsense and impartial approach to broadcasting, Winfrey has trashed her reputation in recent years by becoming a left-wing political activist with no regard for the values she once held dear.
