Harris’ campaign broke records and shot through roofs for the speed in which they were able to garner over a billion dollars in donations to fund her Presidential run. Yet, even after more than a week that she conceded defeat to Donald Trump, her campaign is still asking for funds from commoners through text messages and emails.
The messages are reportedly claiming that a number of key electoral fights are still in the process of counting, or are too close to call, for which they would require money. These messages might not stop soon, until all races are officially called.
The Harris campaign has said that all proceeds will go the Democratic National Committee, who are being made to spend a lot of money to assist electoral efforts.
The Harris campaign is already in debt after their electoral debacle. Democratic functionaries have blamed eccentric payments for celebrity endorsements and free music concerts for their cash dearth. Her competitor and President-elect Donald Trump offered to pay off that debt through leftover money from his campaign, which amounted to a third of what Harris raised.
Bickering and quarrels within the ranks have fueled these contentions, with campaign officials and well-wishers expressing deep distrust in the Democratic leadership. The lack of transparency as to how the money was spent remains a major problem for donors and allies. The rout has extended to the limit where third-parties are offering to buy email lists from the Dems for a price.While the campaign has stated that the messages have stopped, many say that they were scheduled apprehending a long fight for winning the elections. The Republicans have achieved a governing trifecta within days of winning the White House.
