Kamala Harris concedes election but vows to keep fighting
WASHINGTON ― As Democrats reel over how Vice President Kamala Harris' losing campaign spent more than $1 billion, a new campaign finance report confirms that the Democratic presidential nominee's campaign paid Oprah Winfrey's production company $1 million.
The records put an end to a monthslong controversy over whether Winfrey was paid for endorsing the former Democratic presidential nominee.
Rumors exploded in November that Harris campaign paid the former talk show host for her support after a story by the Washington Times cited Federal Election Commission finance records showing that Winfrey's company, Harpo Productions, received $1 million from Harris.
Winfrey denied all allegations that she received money from the Harris campaign when asked by paparazzi in mid-November about whether she was paid for her endorsement. "Not true. I was paid nothing, ever," she responded at the time.
