Harris Campaign Ends $20 Million in Debt

Anonymous
Blow through 1 Billion $$$$$$

How many millions were blown on Cardi B, Lizzo, Beyoncé, and Eminem to say a few words? Lizzo may have performed, not sure?

I’d bet the appearance fees for each were $2M+. Presumably Swift was also paid millions for her endorsement?

Can someone link to something other than Breitbart reporters and the Free beacon? Because no.

I am against the kind of money in all political campaigns. I wish all campaign events looked like they split a budget with a junior high dance, not the Super Bowl halftime show. But I would like to see real sources.

The same people who paid for Trump’s debt when he left office in 2021. Nobody. She should tell them to get in line.

I’ll take the opposite bet. I doubt anyone was paid to perform or endorse. I believe the campaign managers got sloppy and stupid and snobby with the funds and overspent on the staging and similar.

So……anonymous sources are fine - IF it’s something ridiculous about Trump - but that’s the only time anon sources have any cred.

Got it.


Wow you are a little high strung? Sorry you never learned how to identify what a credible source is. I'm sure when it meets the standards for Politico they will publish it but right now it's just one of many claims made on social media, and as I am sure you know many of those are false.

Hang tight - even when someone says something TOTALLY BELIEVABLE and on brand for Trump, most of us wait for some verification.

But even if verified - is it that unusual to end a campaign with what in d=context seems to be a little debt?

I mean - she raised $1 billion? and had $118 million left as of October 16 2024?

20 million is 2% of 1 billion. Is it that unusual to end a campaign in debt for about 2% of your total war chest?

Harris's campaign was professionally run and there are no allegations as far as I am aware of event locations not being paid; police and security bills being left to towns to pay; workers being stiffed on paychecks, or any of the things Trump's routinely accused of.

This is an article from 2011 but it seems that it is pretty common for presidential campaigns to end in some debt.

in 1984 John Glenn owed $3 million. That would be about $9 million today.

Beyoncé ain’t cheap. I can’t believe y’all got fleeced and she ended up doing worse than Biden in literally every county in the country.

Yep. As ever. The hypocrisy is unending.

Well if the Free Bacon says so...

How much is Trump's campaign in debt?


I know he hasn't paid many cities - does he plan to?

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/cities-seek-750k-unpaid-bills-trump-campaign-events-rcna174757

The five localities that spoke to NBC News have sent their bills to the Trump campaign. One of the largest unpaid bills comes in at more than half a million dollars.

El Paso, Texas, is seeking more than $569,200 in expenses from 2019, according to an invoice provided by city spokesperson Laura Cruz Acosta. The initial bill for more than $470,000 ballooned when the city charged the campaign a late fee for nonpayment.

SHE SPEND OVER A BILLION DOLLARS! Usually whomever out spends wins. She massively outspent Trump and lost horribly. That should tell the dems something.
