Kamala Harris's campaign paid more than double what was previously thought to Oprah Winfrey as Democrats continue to fundraise past the election after going into debt to run a presidential bid.
Reports emerged that Harris's campaign paid Winfrey's Harpo Productions $1 million as part of a very pricey and short run for the White House.
But now, the New York Times reports that two people familiar with the matter reveal the full price of the event with Winfrey cost closer to $2.5 million.
Overall, Harris' campaign spent a whopping $100 million per week during her very condensed presidential run, which began in late July.
And supporters of the vice president are still being flooded with requests for donations after her extravagant $1.6 billion campaign budget left the Democratic Party $20 million in debt.
The indulgent spending has caused broader concerns about the Democrats campaign give badly they lost the election despite a $1 billion war chest.
