The Kamala Harris presidential campaign has come under scrutiny for its financial mismanagement, despite raising over a billion dollars. Reports have surfaced that the campaign is struggling to pay its senior staffers, with payments being frozen and promises broken.
The campaign, which ended up $20 million in debt, has faced backlash for its lavish spending on celebrities like Oprah Winfrey. It is now being revealed that even basic payments to staff are being withheld, leading to a tense cash crunch within the organization. This has left many employees feeling disgruntled and uncertain about their future.
According to sources close to the campaign, senior staffers were informed this week that their payments would be cut off, despite previous promises to keep them on the payroll through December. While health insurance will continue until the end of the year, the financial instability of the campaign raises serious questions about its management.
Political staffers, who already live on the edge of financial stability, are now facing the consequences of the campaign’s fiscal irresponsibility. It is baffling how a campaign that raised such a significant amount of money could end up in such dire financial straits.
Critics have pointed out that this is further evidence that the country made the right choice on election day. The inability of the Harris campaign to fulfill its financial obligations only reinforces the decision made by voters. It remains to be seen how the Democrat party will respond to this scandal and what actions will be taken to address the mismanagement of funds.
In the meantime, donations are still being sought by the campaign, despite the election being over and Harris’s loss. This desperate plea for more money only adds to the controversy surrounding the financial troubles of the campaign. Voters and donors alike are left questioning how such a well-funded campaign could end up in such a dire situation.
