Despite raising over $1 billion in the race against Donald Trump, Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party continue aggressive fundraising efforts following her defeat. Without explicitly citing campaign debts, appeals focus on countering the Republican president-elect’s administration picks and unresolved congressional races.
According to Associated Press report, Democratic strategist Adrian Hemond confirmed the campaign is heavily soliciting donations, targeting both small-dollar contributors through emails and high-dollar donors with personal outreach. These efforts underline the high costs of the campaign and the need to sustain Democratic operations for the 2026 midterms.
Concerns about resource allocation during the campaign have emerged, including hosting celebrity events and running ads in unconventional venues like Las Vegas’ Sphere. Internally, the campaign has halted payments to many senior staff while offering extended health coverage to ease frustration.
Although Harris’ campaign reported $119 million cash on hand before Election Day, ongoing vendor invoices and media reimbursements could impact its final balance. Campaign CFO Patrick Stauffer maintains there are no overdue debts and no debt will appear in upcoming Federal Election Commission filings.
Recent fundraising emails under the “Harris Fight Fund” banner highlight fears over Trump’s Cabinet picks, such as Florida Republican Matt Gaetz for Attorney General. Contributions largely benefit the Democratic National Committee, with complex allocations detailed in the fine print.
Harris earlier said that she was proud of the way the team ran for the race over the course of the campaign period. She said that the campaign was a reminder of the fact that there was a lot more in common among them than what separated them.
“I am so proud of the race we ran and the way we ran it. Over the 107 days of this campaign, we have been intentional about building community and building coalitions, bringing people together from every walk of life and background, by the love of country, with enthusiasm and joy in our fight for America’s future. And we did it with the knowledge that we all have so much more in common than what separates us. Now, I know folks are feeling and experiencing a range of emotions right now. I get it. But we must accept the results of this election,” she said.
