Mega-donor: Democratic overspending disqualifies Harris ‘forever’

Harris-Walz campaign reportedly blew through more than $1 billion
Staffers say the campaign is $20 million in debt
Mega-donor John Morgan: This will 'follow Harris for the rest of her career'
Vice President Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) are set to address the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) finance directors amid reports that the campaign is $20 million in debt after a lavish spending spree.
Political mega-donor John Morgan told NewsNation’s “CUOMO” on Monday that those who poured money into the Harris-Walz campaign were trying to defeat Trump, not elect Harris — and her campaign’s spending is cause for serious concern.
“All of a sudden, everybody’s got the keys to the candy store, ad buyers, talent consultants. There’s 100 days to do it, and the money started pouring in,” Morgan said, adding that “ego” and a “crazy” desire to obtain commissions on placed ads drove much of the spending.
It included $15 million for “event production,” $4 million in private jets and an additional $1 million to Oprah’s company, among other pricy purchases.
When asked if Morgan believes someone possibly stole the money, he said, “Maybe legally.”
The donor added that the reported $1.5 billion spent in four months is proof that Harris shouldn’t run again.
“I think this disqualifies her forever,” Morgan said. “If you can’t run a campaign, you can’t run America.”
