Failed Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris spent tens of millions on celebrity appearances for events only to suffer a massive loss in the 2024 election. It turns out that not talking to real, everyday, hardworking people and instead relying on the country’s out-of-touch elite won’t get you very far.
Harris’ campaign blew $20 million, meant to persuade “low-propensity voters,” on celeb-filled concerts on election eve that, according to a new report, did absolutely nothing to boost the vice president’s chances.
Following Harris’ defeat by President-elect Donald Trump, staffers and vendors are concerned they won’t get paid. Despite banking $1 billion in campaign funds, a report from the New York Post suggested that Harris’ team is in debt by that same amount they promised to pay for the concerts. Former Obama campaigner Stephanie Cutter initially floated the concert idea but was approved by the Harris-Walz campaign chairwoman Jen O’Malley Dillon. However, following the vice president’s devastating loss, Dillon has tried to dodge having to write the checks.
Although the talent, including Lady Gaga, Jon Bon Jovi, and Katy Perry, performed at the venues across the seven swing states for free, the Harris campaign is still responsible for paying for the venues, security, staging, sound, and other costs. A performance by Alanis Morissette was reportedly canceled to save money.

She was paying all those celebrities who “endorsed” her.
She thought the winner would be the one with the most extravagant, budget-busting parties.
An excellent demonstration of the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
Kamala Harris is so stupid she does not realize how stupid she is.
America got tired of the same old liberal elitist song and dance. I saw Beyonce with a big smile this morning. She is now the record holder for Grammy nominations. She’s probably going to catch hell from the Harriz/Walzy Psycho Hos that have been giving Travis Kelce hell for smiling after the Trump landslide.
So is the next fundraising appeal. going to appeal to supporters, to pay off Kamala campaign debts?
I wonder how many supporters will be in the mood to listen to asking them for more money?
How do you get onto that gravy train is what I wanna know.
They also proved that no one cares what the celebs think.
“She was paying all those celebrities who ‘endorsed’ her.”
And I heard that she’s not paying them and they’re pissed. LOL
After that disaster of a campaign, to pay off her debts, maybe Kamala should ask FEMA for $750.
They reportedly already started.
Article says most of them did it gratis.
No doubt she paid the O’s a big number to give speeches for her too. Why would they miss out on their fair share of the billion that was spent.
And what a fool Commielaw was to waste all that money.
Maybe that's why it's coming out that she paid them!
Kamala’s campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon blew through a billion dollars in just a few months.
It was Jen’s idea to do the concerts,” a Kamala campaign adviser said.
The source added that “celeb concerts,” like Katy Perry, Lizzo, Eminem, Bruce Springsteen, etc, were done at the expense of “spending money on social media and other campaign priorities.” It’s unclear if the campaign PAID the talent to perform but the cost of production for the events was “immense.”
Harris’ campaign was responsible for paying for the venues, security, staging, sound, and
other costs. A performance by Alanis Morissette was reportedly canceled to save money.
Apparently Georgia had to lay off 100 Harris campaign workers because they couldn’t pay them.
Kamala needed the concerts because she had nothing to say so she depended on celebrities to keep her supporters entertained.
Agree but she’s a democrat it was none of her money and there’s always more where that come from I bet they chip in to pay off the debt.
Too bad it all flopped........snx.
Thank God we all made the Trump/Vance win "too big to rig."
Can you even imagine the extent to which kommieLa & Tampon Tim would have printed & spent (wasted) U.S. dollars if Democrat power-brokers somehow managed to also steal the 2024 Election (as they stole 2020)? It would exactly like this ...
