Harris gives nearly $25 million to downballot candidates

The Harris campaign announced Tuesday it is sharing nearly $25 million of its fundraising haul with downballot Democratic candidates ahead of the 2024 elections.

This news comes after the campaign announced it had raised $540 million in the first month after Vice President Kamala Harris became the Democratic presidential candidate.

“If we want a future where every American’s rights are protected, not taken away. Where the middle class is strengthened, not hollowed out; and a country where our democracy is preserved, not ripped apart, every race this November matters,” Jen O’Malley Dillon, Harris campaign manager, said in a statement, according to the Hill. “The Vice President believes that this race is about mobilizing the entire country, in races at every level, to fight for our freedoms and our economic opportunity.”

The campaign is donating $10 million to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, $10 million to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, $2.5 million to the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, a million dollars to the Democratic Attorneys General Association, and a million dollars to the Democratic Governors Association.

That’s $10 million each to support House and Senate candidates, $2.5 million for state legislative candidates, and a million dollars each for attorney general and gubernatorial candidates.

“The vice president believes that this race is about mobilizing the entire country, in races at every level, to fight for our freedoms and our economic opportunity,” O’Malley Dillon said. “That’s why the vice president has made the decision to invest a historic sum into electing Democrats up and down the ballot.”

It looks like the Harris campaign is getting cocky. A dangerous arrogance.

Either that or they’ve decided the down-ballot races are all that are salvageable.

So, taking money away from the Harris campaign to help the down ballot people who may be in trouble.

California “lost” about $100,000,000,000 of taxpayer money.

That is just one liberal state.

The Democrats have stolen and hidden enough taxpayer money to ride out a President Trump victory.

That is why all of the wealth of The Democrat Party Crime Families must be confiscated.

Yes. When do we get to find out it all came from overseas, then laundered through “smurfs”?

Baloney. The real reason they're transferring money to downballot candidates is because their internal polls indicate that Harris is likely going to lose the election and they've got to fund their Senatorial and House candidates to avoid a complete disaster in November.

Legal? Ha!

Laws don’t apply to the satanic left.

This shows their confidence level and they are flaunting it.

Nobody does this.

This money will be for ads by those organizations that praise Harris in the ad, and then note the organization at the end of the ad.

But nobody ever decides they are going to lose and gives whatever money they have away.

It can be spun either way. A winning candidate might help down ballot, but a doomed candidate would do the exact same thing.

Ultimately, $25M is a drop in the bucket and this donation/laundering may have been agreed to long ago when the Biden funds were transferred to Harris.

Plan all along. It was their immediate fear after the summer debate debacle.

Their internals are clearly showing an epic trouncing of Heels-Up and Tampon Tim.

This money, and there will be more of it, is to somehow salvage the House and/or Senate to stop President Trump that way.
