DNC Still Paying Off Millions in Debt From Kamala Harris’ 2024 Campaign
WASHINGTON – Teh Democratic national Committee (DNC) is still paying off shortfalls incurred by former Vice President Kamala Harris’ failed 2024 election campaign – with at least $1.6 million paid out in September alone,according to the latest federal filings.
The Harris campaign shelled out $1.49 million alone for media production and consulting, $106,312 for data services and $21,762 to rent space at a Grand Rapids, Mich. community centre for an October 2024 event alongside billionaire investor Mark Cuban touting the Democratic nominee as the “pro-business candidate.”
Last month’s payouts push the total debt covered since Election Day to more than $20 million, according to Axios, which first reported on the Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings.
The Democratic National committee (DNC) is footing the bill for tens of millions of dollars of debt from former Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign for the 2024 election – with at least $1.6 million paid out in September.
It’s unclear how much more debt remains to be settled.
Former President Barack Obama’s successful 2012 campaign incurred a similar level of debt that the DNC took three years to fully pay off, with former chairwoman Donna Brazile claiming the 44th commander-in-chief’s “neglect had left the party in notable debt.”
Harris made a “handshake deal” with the national party after Donald Trump defeated her this past November, under which the DNC agreed to cover $20.5 million in outstanding campaign bills, The New York Times reported in August.
Those debts included costs of internal polling, consulting, flights and production companies – some of which helped put on star-studded concerts and also campaign events that featured Harris with the likes of Beyonce and Megan Thee Stallion.
