The ‘Harris Fight Fund’ fundraising emails reveal a campaign without shame

There was one silver lining that all Americans could agree on during this year’s election season: at least when the presidential race is finally over, the incessant campaign fundraising emails would stop. Would that it were!

It has been twenty days since Vice President Kamala Harris conceded the presidential race to Donald J. Trump — and while the joyful warrior is decompressing from her defeat in Hawaii, her team continues to blast out emails begging her downtrodden supporters for more money. 

On Saturday, the “Harris Fight Fund” (formerly the Harris-Walz campaign, formerly the Biden-Harris campaign) sent an email to supporters with the subject line, “We need to level with you about where we are.” 

“Where they are,” according to reports, is in arrears. 

In spending that would make Johnny Depp blush, Harris’s campaign blew through more than $1 billion in 107 days. Vibes aren’t as cheap as they used to be. Blame inflation. 

Of course, there is no mention of the campaign’s reckless financial habits in the body of this shameless email. Instead, the Harris team “levels” with its supporters by fear-mongering about Project 2025 and Trump’s “power-hungry” cabinet nominees, before asking if the email recipient would “chip in” money  to “directly power” their fight against Orange Man. 

That’s just one example of the losing candidate’s money grab. On November 11, the Harris Fight Fund sent an email to supporters warning that the Democrats needed more “resources” to ensure every vote would be counted in races that were either too close to call or within the margin of recounts. Days later, the same Harris Fight Fund asked supporters for $50 to hold Trump and his then-nominee for attorney general Matt Gaetz accountable. 

Kamala Harris really is brat after all. How else could you describe a gal who spends all of your money on concerts and a Call Her Daddy set and then has the audacity to ask for more of it while laying low at the Mondavi wine family’s $1,300-a-night vacation property on the Big Island? Brat is an understatement. 

To add insult to injury, a recent report from Politico details how Harris is telling her advisors to keep her political options open. According to five people in the Harris inner circle, these options include “ a possible 2028 presidential run” or perhaps a “run for governor in her home state of California in two years.”

Whether or not there is an appetite for more Mamala remains unclear. Americans aren’t opposed to giving candidates a second — or even a third chance. Look at Donald Trump. Or Joe Biden. Or Hillary — well, scratch that last one. 

But in the case of Kamala Harris, it isn’t only that she lost all seven swing states and the popular vote. Unlike other losers-turned-victors, Harris didn’t just suffer a crushing defeat. She suffered a very expensive, crushing defeat.

Maybe Democrats will look past the hefty price tag of Harris’s loss, but I can think of over a billion reasons why they shouldn’t.
