Kamala Harris is proving once again that while she may have ambitions for high office, her financial acumen suggests she should stick to budget-friendly hobbies, like coloring books or finger painting. Despite a campaign spend of over $1.5 billion, she couldn’t manage a win against President-elect Donald Trump. It seems the only thing her campaign successfully purchased was a one-way ticket back to the drawing board.
Enter John Morgan, the Democratic megadonor who recently made headlines by declaring Harris’ financial mismanagement a disqualifier for any future political endeavors. It’s a bold assertion, but considering the staggering amount of cash spent—money that could have funded enough burritos for the entire state of California—it’s hard to argue with his logic. Cloaked in the garb of fiscal responsibility, Morgan’s words resonate, particularly when he ponders how anyone could trust her with the nation’s budget when she couldn’t even manage her campaign’s wallet.
We really dodged a bullet!
She can't even run a campaign!
Imagine what she would do with an entire country!Thank God for Trump!
Democrat Megadonor: Harris ‘Disqualified Forever,’ Has ‘No Political Future,’ ‘Cannot Be Trusted’ with Moneyhttps://t.co/Mzw3tJd7EC

The litany of spending decisions during her campaign raises eyebrows, not just among conservatives but apparently, also within her own party. A delicious $15 million went to “event production”—whatever that delightful euphemism entails—while jet-setting around in private planes burnt an additional $4 million. Spending a million on Oprah Winfrey’s company feels more like a scene from the “Real Housewives” franchise than a serious political campaign. All of this extravagance begs the question: was Harris running a campaign or auditioning for “America’s Next Top Model”?
It’s not just the dollar signs that have folks buzzing. Harris recently made an appearance that left some wondering if she’d had one too many glasses of wine. In a video aimed at rallying support, she looked decidedly “bleary-eyed,” with a cadence that could easily be mistaken for someone having a rather jovial evening. Critics have jumped on this slip-up, with conservative commentator Ben Shapiro labeling the appearance as “sloshed beyond all recognition.” It’s a bold observation and perhaps one that resonates a tad too closely with those of us who’ve seen similar episodes with eager party-goers at a Friday night bar.
As Harris meets with the Democratic National Committee’s finance directors, one can only imagine the type of coffee they’ll need to fuel those discussions. If the left wants to avoid another financial train wreck, they might need to start by putting Harris behind a cash register instead of a podium. The feeling is palpable: left unchecked, the Harris campaign might just redefine fiscal irresponsibility in the annals of political history.
