Democrat Kamala Harris continues to raise money after losing the election, all allegedly because the money ran out and debts appeared.
In letters received by Americans from her team, they note that some electoral issues are still ongoing in the country, writes NBC.
Harris’ team will use the funds to help count votes in some states or recover ballots, the people said. But others note that the Democrat has some debts, but they will not be difficult to pay off before the end of the year.
Different sources call different amounts of debt – from 6 million to 10 million dollars. Although Harris’s last figure was called false.
Hey team, it’s Kamala. The election results are not what we wanted, but I will never stop fighting. And there are still a number of critical races ongoing across the country that are within recounts or certain legal challenges, Harris’ team said in a text message.
Two campaign officials told NBC that the requests are for money that should eventually go to the Democratic National Committee to help with recounts or ballot recovery.
One official acknowledged that the team has “some debt” but noted that it would not be difficult to pay it off before the end of the year. The official also stressed that given the election results, it would be worse to lose “sitting on a pile of unspent money.”
But several campaign officials questioned that claim, saying the requests appeared to be aimed at paying off a debt. One campaign official called the practice of asking supporters for more money after losing and previously receiving “so much money” “horrible,” while another called it “disgusting.” A third person, “inundated with donor complaints,” asked: How can Democrats maintain their credibility?
The publication writes that the main problem for the Harris campaign is that the financial picture is “shrouded in secrecy – even for those within the organization.” No one can or wants to clearly describe the state of finances. There were reports of debt reaching tens of millions of dollars.
