After her 2024 presidential campaign, former Vice President Kamala Harris collaborated closely with the Democratic National Committee to help shore up fundraising. She offered access to her email list and hosted a number of donor events. Yet insiders report that the returns from these efforts significantly underperformed expectations.
Although her engagement aided initial momentum, the DNC continues to grapple with financial challenges tied to campaign debts, including millions funneled to vendors and event organizers. Despite her active involvement, the overall fundraising impact remains modest as the party works through legacy costs.
