Kamala Harris’s campaign spent $2.5 billion in just 107 days, sparking outrage and demands for a forensic audit. This colossal figure, involving associated PACs, has left many questioning the Democratic Party’s financial practices and beneficiaries of such massive spending.
Former fundraiser Lindy Li, now a critic of the campaign, has called out its financial mismanagement. She highlighted $2.5 million paid to Oprah Winfrey’s production company and $500,000 reportedly spent on Al Sharpton just before a Harris interview. These allegations have amplified concerns about transparency and ethical lapses.

Calls for a forensic audit aim to uncover the details behind these staggering expenditures. Harris’s FEC filings reveal lavish spending on media buys, celebrity-driven rallies, and high-profile advertisements, including $1 million to Oprah’s company and $575,000 for a Vegas ad. Critics, including Democratic strategist James Carville, are demanding accountability and financial clarity, warning of deeper systemic issues within the party’s operations.
