Democratic Representative and Vice President of the United States Kamala Harris continues to raise funds for her campaign after the election. This is reported by NBC News on Thursday, November 14.
As the publication notes, Harris’ campaign team has run out of funds. People still receive letters urging them to support the candidate.
“Hi team, this is Kamala. The election results are not what we wanted, but I will never stop fighting. And right now, there are still a number of critical races across the country that are in the midst of a recount or have some legal issues,” Harris’ team said in an email.
Two representatives of the Harris campaign told reporters that the requests relate to funds that will eventually go to the US Democratic National Committee. In particular, these funds are intended to assist in statewide recounts or ballot corrections.
One of the company’s representatives acknowledged the presence of a certain debt, but downplayed its significance. He believes that it will not be difficult to repay the debt by the end of 2024. The man also emphasized that it would be worse “lose while sitting on a pile of unspent cash.”
Another senior campaign official cited the practice of asking voters for money after losing “horrible,” another called her “disgusting.”
NBC News believes that the financial situation of the Harris campaign is “shrouded in mystery”, while some media outlets speculate that it is in debt that reaches tens of millions of dollars.
The Harris campaign said at the same time that this was an “inaccurate characterization” of the debt. Five sources with direct knowledge of the campaign’s internal finances confirmed to NBC News that Harris’ team had indeed accumulated debt. But none of them specified a specific amount.
“If there is any debt, it will be minimal and will be resolved in the coming weeks and months, not in the long term,” said another campaign representative.
On October 1, the media reported that Harris’ campaign and related political committees had raised $1 billion since she became the Democratic nominee. On the first day she was announced as a candidate, Harris raised $25 million and amassed $500 million in about a month.
As of late August, former US President Donald Trump and the Republican Party had raised $425 million for his campaign, while Harris and the Democrats had raised $404 million.
Results of the 2024 US presidential election
The US presidential election was held on November 5, 2024.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump announced his victory in the election in a speech to supporters in Florida. Foreign leaders, in particular the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi, congratulated the Republican on his victory.
The own calculation of the AR agency, which is considered the most reliable platform for evaluating the winner of the election, confirmed that Donald Trump, having won in the state of Wisconsin, won the overall victory in the 2024 US presidential election, securing the necessary 270 Electoral College votes.
According to Edison Research, Trump won all seven swing states, giving him 312 electoral votes. Kamala Harris, previously, receives 226 votes.
The US presidential candidate from the Democrats, Kamala Harris, recognized the victory of Donald Trump and promised a peaceful transfer of power.
On November 9, White House Press Secretary Karin Jean-Pierre announced that Donald Trump will meet with current President Joe Biden in the Oval Office of the White House on November 13.
