Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign shelled out $2.6 million on private jet travel in the final, dying gasps of her presidential run — bringing her failed campaign’s total tally on the environmentally unfriendly mode of transportation to a staggering $12 million, records show.
As Harris’ team desperately shuttled across the nation to host rallies and coax voter turnout between Oct. 1 and Oct. 17, her campaign ponied up nearly $2.2 million to the south Florida-based company Private Jet Services Group, along with $430,000 to Arlington, Va.-based charter flight broker Advanced Aviation Team, according to Federal Election Commission data.
The reliance on private jets, which can be up to 14 times more polluting than commercial flights, flies in the face of her 2019 doom-saying that global warming is an “existential threat” to humanity, as well as calls on the campaign trail for Americans to reduce their carbon emissions to stop global warming.(snip)
It’s possible Team Harris’ private air fare tab could soar even higher, as the last tranche of the campaign’s spending forms covering the final weeks of the presidential race are not yet public.

She belonged in a garbage truck.
Heels Up didn’t use Wheels Up?
Chump change compared to the billion dollars the Democrat Party spent hammering Republican candidates with attack ads.
Our Federal Government is ADDICTED to O.P.M.
Harris’ campaign blew.
Wow! Harriz sure doesn’t care about the environment very much. The border between the U.S. and Mexico is a huge landfill and being she was the border czarina, it was her job to get it cleaned up. That that border is now the Harriz/Biden hazardous waste area and people should not be allowed to travel through it without chem suits.
Yeah, had me with the first three words
They sure are spendy.
The woman in charge of the DNC fiancees was on Fox’s J Water’s show last night, and she revealed that Kamala spent an additional billion from the DNC coffers.
But she couldn’t get to the Joe Rogan show
Yipes! I'd heard that the figure of $1 billion we've been offered was a gross underestimate. Let's just say they were, ah, "stimulating the economy" with OPM.
“Instead of getting the message out, they wanted to have a party. That’s not how it works.”
They got the message out all right. Loud and clear. And it looks like the $20 million in the hole is a drop in the bucket.
Oh, she blowed more than that.
“The reliance on private jets, which can be up to 14 times more polluting than commercial flights, . . ..”

I’d sure like to see the stats and how they arrived at that number. I’m dubious. I’m supposing they are doing some sort of “”per seat mile” hocus-pocus. This anti-private jet stuff is a bit over the top for me.
Typical.
That total will probably surpass $2 billion. The donor class must be furious at the Democrat Party and their surrogates for all of that money being flushed down the drain.
She only spent 12 million on charter jets?
That pretty much campaign malpractice.
But then again , she never did any events so most of the travel must have been wasted.
Actually I thought that figure low considering all the jet travel involved and what is the reimbursement rate for Harris using Air Force 2 to get around in, certainly no where near the real costs of operation and expenses.
We’ll never have to worry about her again.
Even at $10,000/hour, how do you log 1,200 hours in 105 days?
$1 billion isn’t really that much. The Dodgers spent that much last year on two Japanese baseball players.
