‘She Cannot Be Trusted’: Dem Megadonor Says Harris Blowing Through Campaign War Chest ‘Disqualifies Her Forever’

Democratic megadonor John Morgan argued Monday that Vice President Kamala Harris’ exorbitant campaign spending should end her political career.

The Harris campaign and Democratic Party reportedly spent nearly $1.5 billion during her brief presidential bid, which she launched on July 21. Morgan, on “CUOMO,” said Harris’ campaign spending and loss suggest she has no “political future.”

“A lot of people got rich on the back of donors trying to stop Trump. And I think this disqualifies her forever. Forever. If you can’t run a campaign, you can’t run America. And that would be the argument just day one. So it was terrible,” Morgan told host Chris Cuomo. “Look, I think she did a good job in the debate. I think she did as good a job as you could hope for in a short period of time.”

“I told you, I told everybody, she should not have been the nominee. She was not going to win. And she didn’t win and she lost badly,” he continued. “So she’s got to go figure out her life … She’s having a call with donors this week, they tell me, about her political future. I don’t think she has a political future.”

Cuomo asked “how bad” the campaign spending is for the future of the Democratic Party, with Morgan answering that “it’s terrible.”

“She cannot be trusted with the money,” he added.

Democrats have expressed worries regarding the potential millions of dollars in debt the Democratic National Committee (DNC) accumulated trying to help Harris defeat President-elect Donald Trump, four sources familiar with the situation recently told Axios following the vice president’s loss. The DNC has fired hundreds of employees amid fears of mounting debt.

However, the Harris campaign’s chief financial officer, Patrick Stauffer, has denied reports that the party is in massive debt following the 2024 election cycle.

“As of Election Day, there were no outstanding debts or bills overdue,” Stauffer told Bloomberg.

Political analyst Mark Halperin also raised doubts about Harris’ future in 🏛️Politics on Monday.

“I think it’s ridiculous, given her performance, for people to remove from the equation the question of, is she a good person at running for president? She’s now run twice and done poorly both times, and I think it’s incumbent upon the media and Democrats — have an honest and fair discussion about whether this is the right role for her, because she’s 0 for 2 in pretty dramatic fashion,” Halperin said.

Harris is directing her aides to maintain her political flexibility as she considers whether to make another run for the presidency in 2028 or campaign to be California governor in 2026, five people in Harris’ inner circle told Politico.
