SUMMARY
Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, are set to address their campaign’s top donors next week following their defeat in the 2024 presidential election. The Democratic ticket lost to President-elect Donald Trump, who swept all seven battleground states, won the popular vote, and made gains in traditional Democratic strongholds. The call with the National Finance Committee, scheduled for Tuesday, aims to express gratitude for donor support, according to a source. Despite raising over $1 billion during the campaign—a record-breaking sum—the Harris campaign’s financial strategy has drawn criticism after reports of being $20 million in debt, though campaign officials have denied outstanding debts post-election. Some Democrats are questioning spending choices, such as high-profile events featuring celebrities like Beyoncé and Oprah Winfrey, and are calling for a full audit of campaign and Super PAC expenditures to assess what went wrong.
