This filing created\u2063 confusion, \u200das \u200dit led to the FEC\u200b recording two candidates named &#8220;Kamala \u200bHarris.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Harris&#8217;s \u200cfiling was notable because\u2064 she reportedly included Biden&#8217;s candidate identification number \u2062rather than her\u2062 own, which has raised eyebrows and prompted accusations\u200b of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fec-drops-its-inquiry-into-trumps-payments-to-stormy-daniels\/\" title=\"FEC Drops Its Inquiry Into Trump\u2019s Payments To Stormy Daniels\">violating campaign finance laws<\/a>. The\u2064 unusual\u200d situation\u200c caught \u2062the attention\u2063 of lawyer and activist Laura Powell, who pointed\u200b out that this action seemed to amend Biden\u2019s candidacy to reflect Harris&#8217;s name while using his identification number.<\/p>\n<p>The filing incident caused complications within the FEC\u2019s records, resulting in\u2062 the\u200b apparent erasure\u200c of Biden\u2019s campaign files as they were mistakenly consolidated\u200d under Harris\u2019s \u2064name. Following \u2064this, \u2064a complaint was\u200c filed by the\u200c conservative group Citizens \u2062United and\u200d Republican \u2062officials from 16 \u2063states, alleging\u2062 that \u200bHarris&#8217;s\u200d actions \u2063were improper, leading to\u200b concerns about\u200d the \u2063integrity of candidate identification processes.<\/p>\n<p>While the \u200cFEC eventually resolved some of the discrepancies, the situation raised questions about the legitimacy of \u200cHarris&#8217;s maneuvering within the Democratic party&#8217;s electoral framework\u200b and \u200dhas sparked discussions about the implications for\u2064 her potential candidacy moving forward.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>An unusual filing by Vice President Kamala Harris appears to be an attempt to further take over the campaign of Democrats&rsquo; former 2024 ballot header, President Joe Biden.

In a surprising turn of events, this unprecedented action has led the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to acknowledge two presidential candidates named &#8220;Kamala Harris.&#8221; The situation gained attention after Harris submitted a Statement of Candidacy\u2014a required document for anyone running for federal office, excluding vice president. This form, known as Form 2 by the FEC, must be filed within 15 days of entering an election and assigns each candidate a unique identification number that remains with them throughout their political career.<\/p>\n<p>Biden was assigned his ID number, P80000722, when he was still a senator and has carried it through his various presidential campaigns. Harris received her own number, P00009423, when she entered the race in 2020. Lawyer and activist Laura Powell highlighted this unusual behavior in a post on July 25. She noted that on July 21, Harris declared she was no longer running for vice president but instead for president and subsequently filed her Statement of Candidacy using Biden&#8217;s identification number rather than her own.<\/p>\n<p>This move may have been motivated by the substantial funds\u2014over $90 million\u2014remaining in the Biden-Harris campaign account that she would have first claim to access. Following this filing three days later, Citizens United and Republican officials from 16 states lodged a complaint with the FEC regarding Harris&#8217; attempt to usurp Biden&#8217;s position before he officially announced his withdrawal from the race.<\/p>\n<p>Powell pointed out that while the FEC accepted Form 2 as belonging to Kamala Harris despite it bearing Joe Biden\u2019s ID number instead of hers\u2014a situation without precedent\u2014the agency\u2019s database faced significant issues afterward. She reported that after submitting her form using Biden&#8217;s ID number, records associated with him were effectively replaced with those linked to Harris\u2019 name.<\/p>\n<p>As Tim Walz entered his campaign later on, complications persisted within the FEC\u2019s records; both candidates named &#8220;Kamala Harris&#8221; were listed under different IDs\u2014one associated with her own candidate ID (P00009423) and another linked to Biden&#8217;s (P80000722). Although these discrepancies seem mostly resolved now on public view as of Thursday\u2014with only some remnants remaining\u2014the initial confusion raised eyebrows about potential impropriety surrounding Kamala Harris&#8217; rise within party leadership amidst ongoing shifts away from President Biden<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2321310,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Kamala_Harris-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[32245,37569,32438,32603],"class_list":["post-2321309","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-biden-campaign","tag-fec-form","tag-kamala-harris","tag-political-news"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Kamala_Harris-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2321309","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2321309"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2321309\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2321310"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2321309"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2321309"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2321309"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
