Kamala Harris’s run for the presidency left a dent in the wallets of donors to the tune of a staggering $1.5 billion, a record that not only showcases lavish spending but also raises questions about sheer incompetence. With a financial burn rate of roughly $100 million per week, it’s evident that her campaign was less about winning hearts and minds and more like a game of Monopoly where she forgot to collect any “Get Out of Jail Free” cards.
This extravagant spending spree suggests that Harris and her team are not only bewildered by the complexities of the political landscape but also utterly inept when it comes to balancing a budget. For a politician who claims to champion fiscal responsibility, Harris’s campaign could teach a masterclass in how to squander cash faster than a soggy politician could flip-flop on an issue. This was not a campaign; it was a cautionary tale about financial mismanagement.
One has to wonder how many coffee shops they could have funded instead of blowing through this mountainous fortune. For context, $1.5 billion could have financed a healthy chunk of America’s road repairs or even helped pay teachers’ salaries. Instead, it was funneled into a campaign that not only failed to gain traction but had about as much resonance as a tone-deaf karaoke night.

While Harris may tout her role as a bold leader, her spending habits suggest she’s better suited in a role of managing a never-ending sale at a clearance outlet, rather than steering the ship of state. She might have convinced a few starry-eyed supporters with her slogans, but when it comes to delivering a competent, coherent policy, it’s evident she couldn’t organize a two-car parade.
Ultimately, her catastrophic campaign can serve as a blazing neon sign of how not to run a political race, adding to the ever-growing pile of examples of Democrats’ fiscal irresponsibility. The burning question left unanswered is whether the Democratic National Committee took notes on this fiscal failure or if they were too busy patting themselves on the back for their relentless embrace of Harris’s policies that, let’s face it, were barely more popular than a root canal.
