In the aftermath of the 2024 presidential election, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) has spent over $15 million towards paying off former Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign expenses, according to a recent report.
Axios reported that in the “first six months of 2025,” the DNC has spent over $15 million, which has gone toward paying off Harris’s presidential campaign expenses.
This comes after the Republican National Committee (RNC) was reported to have had $80 million “on hand” as of the end of June, while the DNC had $15 million, according to Politico.
As a result of the DNC continuing to pay off Harris’s presidential campaign expenses, Democrats have reportedly started to “point fingers at each other.” Democrats have also reportedly “asked Harris and her team to hold more fundraisers and call more donors” in an effort to raise more money, per Axios:
• Some donors and senior Democrats are angry that Harris’ campaign spent an unprecedented $1.5 billion during her 15-week run and still lost all seven swing states.
• Some donors have grown reluctant to give the DNC more money as the party is trying to pivot to the 2026 midterms.
