New in PJ Media:
Kamala Harris raised an astonishing amount of money, but it’s all gone. Where did it all go?
It was a magnificent day for the American republic when Kamala Harris lost the election, not just because she’s a vapid tool of sinister Marxist forces, but because her campaign raised the staggering sum of one billion dollars, nearly three times what the Trump campaign raised. This makes her loss all the more a cause for rejoicing, for it proved that elections can’t simply be bought, and that money doesn’t (entirely) rule American politics.
Now that the election is (mostly) a thing of the past, however, the big question is this: what did the Harris campaign do with all that money? The Harris campaign is now in debt, which is quite a feat just weeks after you raise a billion dollars. So what do Kamala and Co. have to show for all that dough they’ve apparently been spreading around with such abandon?
Not all that much, apparently, and what we do know about what they shelled out on isn’t good. We can all be thankful that these people didn’t get their hands on the federal budget (although a lot of them, of course, already have their hands on it), because they would without any doubt have squandered our taxpayer dollars on frivolities and idiocy similar to what the Harris campaign threw away its billion to buy.
Most of it went for advertising, which is a reasonable expenditure for a presidential campaign. The Washington Examiner reported Friday that “the Harris campaign and its affiliated committees dropped more than $654 million on advertising from July 22 to Election Day, whereas Trump spent $378 million, or 57% less, in the same category, according to data from AdImpact.” A good chunk of what was left went for polling and travel, which is reasonable, but the Harris campaign wasn’t going to risk getting dirty by hobnobbing with the hoi polloi: the travel expenses includes payment to “a private jet company called Advanced Aviation.”
Neo-Marxist apparatchiks don’t come cheap, and so the Harris camp shelled out a princely $56.6 million for payroll and the accompanying taxes. On top of that, Kamala and her henchmen plunked down $12.8 million for “political, digital, and media consultants,” all of whom promptly proved that they don’t know their own business and are wildly overpaid.
To get some idea of how disproportionate that is, note that the Trump campaign spent all of $9 million on payroll. There are some very wealthy Commies out there today courtesy of Kamala Harris, although to be sure, her campaign employed far more people than Trump’s did.
There is more. Read the rest here.

I wonder if the two biggest Harris campaign billion donors Mike Bloomberg and Soros Open Society Foundation now run by Alex Soros son of George Soros son have “buyers” remorse ? Talk about strange “bedfellows” in politics !
SC says
Who would want to be her bedfellow? You might catch someting nasty.
den says
catch the cackle
OLD GUY says
One thing for sure the Media loves election time and will openly back the candidate with the biggest pocket book. Bloomberg and Soros just laundered their money back thru their media outlets. And Kamala will probably buy a new mansion to cry in.
40 rounds says
And the money laundering and grifting continues. What a job if you can get it: wine and dine, give bad advice meanwhile beef is not affordable and utilities are through the roof and we are all paying for the maintenance of illegal aliens
James Hoagland says
She’s a democrat so where does money disappear to? Maybe she took pointers from Hillary and Bill because they copped-up so much cash from the contributions to Haiti that the Haitians barely received!
WPM says
I am sure Harris will never want for money again the rest of her life even if she lives to 100.I see her returning to the San Francisco Oakland Bay area to spend her days at cocktail parties ,wine dining ,still getting big bucks to serve up word salads at speaking engagements for left wing organizations .Her disappearance of donor money will be forgotten about like Hunters Biden’s lap top ,Anthony Wieners laptop (its information was also shared in H. Clintons laptop hers was erased),Epstein list on Island visitors ,Clinton foundation money “spent” on Haiti DiBlasio’s wifes 800 million disappearance of NYC funds for the mental ill ,and other democratic “embarrassing” monies and documents that go puff into thin air never to be accounted for or seen again .
James Lincoln says
WPM,
Yes, a likely scenario for Harris.
But, certainly beats having her as POTUS!
gravenimage says
Agreed, James, even if I have t see her around town again it’s worth it.
James Lincoln says
🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
WPM says
She can look up her old friend Willy Brown he started her in her life of grifting the taxpayers He is still alive I think he is 91 ,she could throw him a “freebee” for all he has done for her! Yes having her as President would have sunk this country and maybe brought about WW3. I rather see her live the high life then be President ,I see her dumping her dud Doug in the next 6 months ,she is truly a player ,see will look for young men who like to sink their asses in butter and do not mind being “keep men” on the side for the right cash.

Reminds me of the time Sony bought the rights to the complete catalogue of the Beatles. The newspaper headline was:
Five Billion Dollars For A Bunch Of Silly Old Love Songs.

She’s a horrible money manager. In 2019, she blew her entire campaign budget in Iowa, and one of the reasons she had to drop out early was that after that happened, her donors dried up. After all, there were 15 more candidates still in the fray, so there was little reason for them to continue to bankroll her
Here, her campaign demonstrated its stupidity in paying celebrities, but not leveraging them properly, such as insisting that their act come after her speech, and that in case of singers, it includes performances. Those celebrities played her, making her and her campaign look totally ridiculous.
It partly explains why the federal government has been hemorrhaging money for the last 4 years, and just blowing it on countries like Ukraine, Iran, “Palestine”…. It’s relieving to know that all her targeted vote banks don’t hate the country as much as her party does
SC says
Did she really raise a billion? Or is that just what the dems want the world to believe.
From day one her only real chance was the pity, the DEI guilt vote or the cheat. Somehow or other she has managed to appear even less available than biden for most of the first three years. I have seen dogturds with more integrity and work ethic.
And her personality is none existant. Maybe if she can sing she could find a cackling role in wicked for one or two nights per season, but dont expect her to show up when needed.
Walter Sieruk says
That above picture of Kamala Harris laughing along with the many other photographs of Kamala Harris with her chronic inappropriate laughing reveals an unstable emotional mentality. The United States definitely didn’t need anyone with such an irrational mindset as the President of the US.
One thing is for certain was that when Kamala saw the results of the November 5rh 2024 Presidential election, that was one specific time when she wasn’t laughing.

“18 Of 19 States Harris Won Appear To Share One Major Risk To Election Integrity”
“….Of the 19 states Harris won, 12 — California, Oregon, New Mexico, Minnesota, Illinois, Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Hawaii and Maryland — require no document to vote, according to the NCSL.
The Conference lists five of the other seven states Harris won as states where ID is requested, but “photo not required.” Those states are Colorado, Washington, Delaware, Connecticut and Virginia.
Colorado and Washington hold all elections by mail, so their limited ID laws only affect in-person voters, according to the Conference.
In many states, voters without ID may sign an affidavit affirming their identity before being allowed to cast a provisional ballot. They would often need to return with photo ID to allow their provisional ballot to be cast. In Delaware, Connecticut and Virginia, however, voters may sign such an affidavit and cast a regular ballot, according to the Conference.
…..Rhode Island is the only state Harris won in which a voter without an ID cannot cast a regular ballot. A Rhode Island voter with no ID can cast a provisional ballot, at which point election officials will match their signature to a signature on record, according to the Conference.”
Perhaps some of the money went to “ballot harvesting.” Perhaps lots of it.

“Donations to Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign are now being partially redirected towards a vote recount effort.
When users go to donate to her campaign on ActBlue, the nonprofit fundraising platform, the fine-print suggests that the vice president’s campaign might be launching a recount effort.”

A recount? Even though the popular vote is not even close, let alone the Electora College votes.
