Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign and the Democratic National Committee spent close to $1.5 billion in their unsuccessful presidential bid, but they didn’t go into debt doing so, according to the campaign’s chief financial officer.
Conservative media outlets have reported that Harris’ unsuccessful campaign spent lavishly on events with celebrities including Lady Gaga and Oprah Winfrey, donations to activist groups, private jets and consultants. But neither those expenditures, nor its massive outlays for advertising and get-out-the-vote efforts, led to a budget shortfall.
