Carville tells Democrats to ‘audit everything’ after blasting Harris campaign’s spending Democratic strategist James Carville said that new audits are necessary to bring transparency to the Democratic Party’s fundraising efforts after Vice President Kamala Harris burned through a historic amount of money during her unsuccessful campaign. The vice president’s campaign raised at least $1.5 billion during her roughly three-month-long bid for the White House. After losing the election to President-elect Donald Trump earlier this month, Harris ended her campaign with a reported $20 million in debt. The news had Democrats reeling. Carville suggested that the campaign could have drained as much as $2.5 billion in total resources during a Thanksgiving Day episode of Politicon’s Politics War Room where he called for comprehensive audits to determine where the staggering amount of money went and said that Democratic candidates of the future were going to face trouble fundraising because of “burnt” donors. Pointing to one of Harris’s top super PACs, Future Forward, Carvile said Thursday: “I’m telling you, without complete transparency, the campaign — we think — raised a billion and a half dollars. Okay, we know that Future Forward, the last we saw, was $900 million, so we can assume that they got to a billion before the election. That’s two and a half freaking billion dollars.” Questioning if anybody has “any idea where that money went,” Carville said Democrats are first “going to audit everything.” “We’re going to audit the campaign,” he continued. “We’re going to audit Future Forward. We’re going to audit the DNC so people can know.” With top Democratic mega-donors such as John Morgan saying after the election that Harris’s rampant spending despite a subsequent loss “ disqualifies her forever,” Carville warned that the bad taste in donors’ mouths is around to stay.
Money went from one donors pocket into the next donors pocket and all that money came from lobbyist milking gov't. spending. Socialist power comes from disrespect itself, always willing to do what the next guy would not.
Harris was an epicly bad candidate. Her campaign pissed away $2.5 in 3 months and still lost the EC vote badly. She makes Clinton look like JFK in comparison. At least Hillary Clinton was a competent technocrat, Harris was just a giggler. I remember the Harris apologists claimed that she was the only one that could inherit the money that Biden raised and so it made sense for her to be the candidate. Turns out they raised an additional $2.5 billion so that excuse blew up in their face. I don't want to say she was VP only because she was "black" but she never really ran a large political campaign before & it ended the only way it was going to end.
