Kamala Harris: A Billions-Dollar Marathon to Nowhere

Kamala Harris, the Vice President, was found immersing herself in subterfuge with the Democratic National Committee (DNC), leaving a debt from her disastrous 2024 Presidential campaign covered in shadows. This move was puzzling, considering Joe Biden had earlier withdrawn from the race and left her in an advantageous position with his delegates and donor money at her disposal.

Despite consuming over a staggering $1 billion within barely three months, Harris concluded her presidential run neck-deep in a massive debt of over $20 million. This amount came as a surprise to many given that she had a considerable treasure chest at her disposal thanks to Biden folding his cards mid-game that year.

In a surprising twist, it was discovered that Harris made a clandestine agreement with the DNC to repay her piling financial obligations from the failed campaign. Yet, the donors, who had believed in her abilities and backed her ambitions, were left to grapple with the dark, having not been enlightened about the back-room deal.

The secret arrangement between Harris and the DNC managed to mask the real size of the unpaid bills from her dismal 2024 campaign. The aftermath of such big-spending did not sit well with the DNC’s financial health, which was rather frail after frivolously spending over a billion dollars only to suffer defeat against Trump.

One of Harris’ substantial liabilities included a staggering $3.5 million owed to an influencer marketing company, an expense she incurred for securing paid endorsements. This reveals a stark reality behind the scenes, where it seems that authenticity took a backseat to purchased popularity.

After Harris’ loss in the 2024 election became official, both her senior advisors and the DNC entered into a tacit contract. It was understood that Harris had not been able to keep her finances in check, and the campaign officials had planned to amass more funds as a long struggle for vote counting ensued.

However, the plan to raise further funds promptly melted away as the results were announced early on the morning following Election Day. The plan was hastily replaced with a private accord, carefully tucked away from public scrutiny.

According to this clandestine deal, the party agreed to cover the costs of any outstanding bills from Harris’ ill-fated 2024 campaign, enabling her to assert that she had not ended the race drowning in debt. But, for an entity already financially stressed, this seemed a decision marked more by desperation than strategic thinking.

Bizarrely, Harris agreed to recoup every single penny of these expenses on the party’s behalf, promising to leave the party in the same financial state as they were prior to soaking up her disastrous expenses. The plan, however, reeked of placing the carnage of her misplaced ambitions onto the shoulders of a party still attempting to navigate another era of Trump dominance.

The unsuspecting victims of this underhanded arrangement were the countless small donors who had received close to a hundred email solicitations from the Harris team in this year alone. These solicitations, on the behalf of the apparently suffering DNC, neglected to disclose that the funds raised would be used specifically to cover the unpaid bills from the unsuccessful campaign.

This level of non-transparency is harmful for small donors who might have put their hard-earned resources at stake, not knowing the actual purpose behind their contributions. In effect, the small donors were surreptitiously financing Harris’ recovery, their funds slyly earmarked to pay off her campaign debt.

The entire situation reflects a blatant disregard for the supporters who backed Harris and the DNC, only to find themselves deceived. The cloaked financial obligations and the reckless spending mark not only the shortcomings of Harris but also the lack of prudent financial management within the DNC.

Can the party regain the trust of its supporters and the wider voting public while brushing off such a major scandal? The financial manoeuvres carried out behind the scenes reveal a deep-seated insensitivity towards the very people whose faith keeps the party going.

The implications of these exposed dealings are likely to leave a lasting effect on the credibility of both Kamala Harris and the DNC. More disturbingly, their economic recklessness not only poses questions on their financial prudence but paints them as a profligate entity, averse to transparency.

Perhaps, both Harris and her senior advisors, along with the DNC, should concentrate less on crafting covert deals, but more on restoring their damaged reputation. After all, won’t that be a wiser move than stirring an unrest amidst their base who have been held in the dark and manipulated into contributing to a cause unknown to them?
