Vice President Kamala Harris paid Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Productions $1 million, just one example of millions the campaign spent on various entertainers during the vice president’s failed bid for president.
The Harris campaign paid $1 million to Winfrey’s company on October 15, according to a report in the Washington Examiner, coming after a star-studded town hall that Winfrey hosted for the vice president in September.
Winfrey also appeared at Harris’ final rally in Philadelphia on the eve of Election Day, with the talk show star offering a rare endorsement of a presidential candidate.
“We’re voting for values and integrity,” Winfrey said at the rally. “We’re voting for healing over hate.”
But Winfrey wasn’t the only star the Harris campaign spent big money on, with the Washington Examiner report also revealing that the campaign spent big on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast.
“A source familiar with the matter told the Washington Examiner that the Harris campaign spent six figures on building a set for Harris’s appearance on the popular Call Her Daddy podcast with host Alex Cooper,” the Examiner wrote. “The interview came out in October and was reportedly filmed in a hotel room in Washington, D.C.”
The campaign also spent up to $20 million on swing-state concerts on the eve of the election, according to a report in the New York Post, a sum that could have been more if a planned performance by Alanis Morissette had not been scrapped.
The campaign had seven swing-state concerts on Monday, the report noted, including performances by Jon Bon Jovi in Detroit, Christina Aguilera in Las Vegas, Katy Perry in Pittsburgh and Lady Gaga in Philadelphia, and a 2 Chainz performance at a rally three days before the election in Atlanta.

*This is a Paid Celebrity Endorsement. All opinions expressed by the celebrity are actually not theirs. Let’s face it, do you really think that the celebrity would be saying this crap without being paid an exorbitant amount of money?
If she’s that craven in campaigning, imagine how she would have been executing foreign polcy.
According to reports, the Harris campaign paid over $20 million for a star-studded victory celebration Tuesday night with all the big-name celebrities. Needless to say, the victory never happened but the celebrities are demanding to be paid all the same.
The largest money laundering scam since art galleries.
I’ll bet the coven at Da View would have done it for free.
The fact she almost won, shows we’ve got a long way to go.
For free, with a large side of fried pork rinds.

As Paulie, from Goodfellas, said....”F YOU! PAY ME!”
If Orka believed in Harris, she would have done it for nothing.
LOL! You’ve got that right.
So it wasn’t a “town hall”, it was a paid for TV campaign commercial - I don’t remember them telling America that.
Oprah FATTENED her wallet.
A million bucks will keep her thin.
A mil buys a helluva lot of Ozempic.
Oprah was sooooo committed to Harris that it took a million dollars to get her off the couch in her California mansion to a rally. Or maybe Oprah is just a greedy billionaire.
So much for principle...
You mean Oprah wasn’t genuinely behind Kamala’s groundbreaking campaign? I’m shocked.
I’m sure it will buy a lot of weed.
celebrity endorsements should be issued on tissue paper
in a convenient roll that is squeezably soft
then they would be useful
