According to a Fox News report, the Kamala Harris campaign’s budget ballooned to more than $10 million days for election eve star-studded events in critical swing states (all of which she lost).
It was previously reported that Harris blew through $1.5 billion dollars in her truncated, 15-week campaign.
From Fox News:
These pricey celebrity events featured Lady Gaga in Philadelphia, Jon Bon Jovi in Detroit, Christina Aguilera in Nevada, James Taylor in North Carolina and Katy Perry in Pittsburgh. While the singers did not receive compensation, the newspaper said officials confirmed that the support staff was compensated.
Part of the higher-than-expected costs came from having to rebuild an entire rally venue in Pittsburgh after the Secret Service said the initial location could not be properly secured, The Times reported.
How Harris spent such an exorbitant amount of money during her compressed campaign has left questions as to where all that cash went.
One payment being scrutinized in recent days has been the reported $1 million payment to Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Productions.
Other major costs for Harris’ failed campaign included $111 million in online ads seeking donations, about $50 million for door-to-door canvassers and $2.5 million paid to three digital agencies who work with online influencers, The Times reported.
