Christopher Cadelago, the California bureau chief for Politico, reported on X that &#8220;Kamala Harris\u2019s campaign concluded with at least $20 million in debt, according to two sources. She raised over $1 billion and had $118 million remaining as of October 16.&#8221; Additionally, Matthew Boyle from Breitbart shared further details from an unnamed campaign staffer who suggested a major scandal could warrant an audit. The staffer confirmed the $20 million debt and mentioned Rob Flaherty, the deputy campaign manager, is attempting to sell the fundraising list to recover funds. A source also claimed that a substantial amount was spent on celebrity concerts rather than essential campaign priorities. Furthermore, some former staff members are reportedly still waiting for overdue payments for their work. Newsweek attempted to verify these claims but could not confirm or receive a denial from the Harris campaign. Senator Bernie Sanders attributed the campaign&#8217;s struggles not to spending but to messaging issues within the Democratic Party, while Representative Seth Moulton emphasized that Democrats need to better connect with everyday Americans&#8217; concerns<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2365706,"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\/11\/Kamala-Harris-concedes.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[44565,32371,32837,32438,37057],"class_list":["post-2365705","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-20m-problem","tag-election-analysis","tag-election-loss","tag-kamala-harris","tag-political-report"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Kamala-Harris-concedes.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2365705","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=2365705"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2365705\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2365709,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2365705\/revisions\/2365709"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2365706"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2365705"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2365705"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2365705"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
