“Money can’t buy happiness or a presidential election. Democratic donors just learned that the hard way. After a candidate loses a high-profile, competitive race, the blame game begins. There are many places to point the finger when assessing Vice President Kamala Harris’[s] run. She entered the race late and only after President Joe Biden had a career-ending debate implosion. She didn’t run a primary gantlet, which meant voters didn’t know her very well. … She struggled to separate herself from the failed policies of the Biden/Harris administration. … The Trump campaign effectively used her own words to show voters that she was a radical leftist [sic]. But one common excuse for political failure, a lack of funding, doesn’t apply. Ms. Harris spent an astonishing $1.5 billion during her 15-week campaign. That works out to around $100 million a week. But even that understates her financial resources.” (11/26/24)
