A Democratic donor has publically declared Vice President Kamala Harris as unfit for political office due to alleged financial missteps and poor leadership in her presidential campaign.
Breitbart reported that John Morgan, a well-known Democratic financier and attorney, voiced strong disapproval of Vice President Kamala Harris's handling of her presidential campaign finances in a recent televised interview.
On NewsNation with Chris Cuomo, Morgan described the campaign's financial strategy as chaotic and akin to "Mad Max," indicating a total lack of control over spending.
Morgan accused the campaign of misusing donor funds specifically meant for Harris's image and instead using them to combat Donald Trump. He highlighted an egregious spend of $900,000 on digital advertising on the Sphere in Las Vegas, which was intended to boost Harris’s public profile.
Adding to his criticism, Morgan stressed that Harris's inability to effectively manage her campaign's finances casts a long shadow over her capability to lead the country. He succinctly put it, "If you can’t run a campaign, you can’t run America," showing his lack of confidence in her leadership skills.
Morgan explicitly stated that Harris "cannot be trusted" with financial responsibilities and proclaimed her political career effectively over.
His critique extends beyond Harris to a broader concern about the impact of such leadership failures on the Democratic Party, drawing parallels with other politicians like Andrew Gillum, who also faced criticism for financial mismanagement.
Further delving into internal party dynamics, Morgan claimed that top Democratic figures, including Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama, were reluctant to show support for Harris.
He controversially suggested that President Biden's selection of Harris as his running mate was influenced not just by her credentials, but also by personal politics, possibly as a move against Pelosi and Obama.
Harris's recent presidential run alongside Minnesota Governor Tim Walz ended in defeat against Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance. The campaign struggles did not end with loss; it also accumulated a significant debt of $20 million just a week before the election concluded.
In the weeks leading to the election day, the Harris campaign spent excessively, with $2.6 million allocated for private jets.
This was part of at least $12 million spent in total on private air travel throughout the campaign. Despite these substantial expenditures, the financial woes compounded and the campaign found itself deep in debt.
Even after the electoral defeat, Harris has continued to solicit contributions from donors, aimed at offsetting the massive debt incurred by her campaign.
This financial solicitation has happened amidst growing skepticism about her fiscal management skills and overall political viability.
In the interview, Morgan’s dismay was palpable as he lamented the ramifications for the Democratic Party. He expressed grave concerns about the party's future direction and leadership integrity, calling the situation "terrible."
Morgan’s concluding remarks underscore a profound sense of betrayal and disillusionment with Harris, questioning the fiduciary trust and leadership necessary for high officials.
It reveals a fracture within the Democratic Party, possibly affecting its cohesion and public trust. His outspoken critique highlights significant concerns about the management of political campaigns and their implications on future electoral prospects.
