The Kam campaign was stuffed to the gills with $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
It was a $billion campaign. Public disclosure showed that as late as Oct 16 ;even after lavish spending ;the campaign had $118 million cash on hand.
But Politico is reporting that they ended uo $20 million in the red. That's over a $ billion spent in a few months .
Christopher Cadelago on X: "Kamala Harris's campaign ended with at least $20 million in debt, per two sources familiar. Harris raised over $1 billion and had $118 million in the bank as of Oct. 16." / X (https://x.com/ccadelago/status/1854342667251187795)

Reports claim that she spent $20 million on swing state concerts with Bon Jovi ,Lady Gaga ,and Katy Perry and others on the eve of the election. The artists donated their time but production crews need to be paid. Well maybe . Reports say that staff and vendors are getting stiffed .This does not include shows that were cancelled because they realized they were over spending .

The most outrageous report is that the campaign paid Oprah $1 million for her appearance AND for her fake sit down interview.

There's more .
Kam spent 6 figures in building a set in a DC hotel room to stage her interview with Alex Cooper on the 'Call Her Daddy ' podcast. The interview only got a million hits .
In contrast ;Trump's sit down with Joe Rogan ;that YouTube tried to algorithm out of existence ;forcing them to air in on X ,had 38 million viewers .
Trump said 'Who's your daddy '?

John Morgan ;a Dem mega donor was asked on Chris Cuomo's show if he thought campaign funds were stolen .
His reply ..... maybe legally.
"All of a sudden, everybody's got the keys to the candy store, ad buyers, talent, consultants. There's 100 days to do it, and the money started pouring in,"
"She had all this money coming in. She had all these consultants, and if you don't run the ads, you don't get paid for the buy. They were running ads in Florida, where I live, nonstop. And I'm like, why? I mean, are they running in Alabama and Idaho, too? And I'll tell you why. If you don't run the ads, the buyer doesn't get paid."
"I was at a dinner at the White House on Friday night, talking to a lot of people and I'm telling you man, there's a lot whispering, there's a lot of names about who got paid this, who got paid that," "A lot of people got rich on the back of donors trying to stop Trump. And I think this disqualifies her forever—forever. If you can't run a campaign, you can't run America."
"She's having a call with donors this week, and they tell me about her political future. I don't think she has a political future," he said. It's "going to follow Harris for the rest of her career. She cannot be trusted with the money... and the donors are going to be, like, 'Where is this money going?' "

She did indeed make an appeal to supporters yesterday. She looked and sounded drunk and disheveled bragging about how the campaign wasted more than $1.4 billion . (not quite Foster Brooks level drunk ....she starts talking about the 3:30 mark of this video Tim Walz flaps his gums 1st. He says it's "scary " that more than half the nation voted for Trump )
