The latest episode in Kamala Harris’s political saga is a financial disaster that rivals the Titanic hitting an iceberg. The former vice president, who staunchly tried to make a bid for the White House, is now reportedly $20 million in debt after an election campaign that raked in over $1 billion. One has to wonder how a campaign that raised such astounding sums could leave its star player starring in the next season of “Debt Warriors.”
According to reports that surfaced from Politico, Harris’s financial backers must feel like they’ve won the lottery, only to discover they bought a ticket for the wrong game. Despite having $118 million still chilling in the bank as of mid-October, the bitter pill of that $20 million debt is hard to swallow. It’s as if, after throwing a humongous party, the hosts find they have to hock their favorite family heirlooms to pay the caterers.

Inside the Democratic Party, the news has sent shockwaves. One would imagine legendary fundraisers raising their eyebrows at the sheer financial ineptitude put on display. Reports indicated that a staffer from Harris’s campaign reached out to a media personality to warn of a major scandal that calls for an audit. Apparently, they are not content with just embarrassing losses; they are also gunning for a finance-related reality show.
A campaign manager sometimes has to read the tea leaves, but Jen O’Malley Dillon seems to have taken them for fancy coffee. The division over prioritizing star-studded events over sensible fundraising tactics led to the alarming financial crisis. Harris’s adviser didn’t mince words, blaming O’Malley Dillon for a blowout strategy that might have confused a fundraiser run for a presidential campaign with a Hollywood charity gala.
In a twist worthy of a reality TV episode, President-elect Donald Trump couldn’t resist making a triumphant entrance into the fray. He found the entire situation shocking, commenting on the irony of Democrat mismanagement after their big-money campaign. Trump suggested that perhaps the Democratic Party could use a lifeline, urging party members to brainstorm ways to contribute during Harris’s financial freefall. Naturally, he didn’t forget to highlight the advantage the GOP had in keeping costs low through something he termed “Earned Media.”
In the end, Kamala’s supposed “historic” campaign might end up being more of a history lesson in how not to manage large sums of money. The final act in this political drama could very well turn into a cautionary tale for aspiring candidates: when you’re trying to go big, make sure you don’t end up going broke.
