Kamala Harris’ campaign eviscerated for spending $1 BILLION and still losing: ‘What the f***!’
The teams of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are blaming each other for wasting more than a billion dollars in donor money on a doomed presidential campaign.
Since Donald Trump’s historic victory, Democrats have been in disarray over the inability of their considerable war chest to fend off the Republican, whom they view as a “threat to democracy.”
President Joe Biden’s poor performance in his debate with Trump in June, which led to his last-minute decision to drop out of the race, is to blame for Kamala’s loss, Harris aides say.
But Biden aides say the vice president ran a terrible three-month campaign and wasted millions of dollars from their top donors.
“How did you spend $1 billion without winning? What the hell?’ said a former Biden aide, furious at the Harris team’s apology.
