Kamala Harris campaign drops Alanis Morissette over funds crisis, Internet says '$1B sure went fast'

WASHINGTON, WASHINGTON DC: Vice President Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential campaign has found itself under scrutiny after reports surfaced that Canadian singer Alanis Morissette withdrew her support due to campaign funding issues.

As Democrats conduct a post-mortem on their strategy that led to the loss in the 2024 elections, claims of mismanagement regarding the substantial funds raised by the campaign have emerged.

Harris' campaign raised just over $1 billion and had spent more than $900 million as of October 16, according to the Federal Election Commission. Now, Lindy Li, a member of the DNC Finance Committee, claims the Harris campaign is allegedly $20 million in debt, states NewsNation.

Why did Alanis Morissette refuse to perform at Kamala Harris' rally?

Hot on the heels of claims about the campaign spending six figures to build a set for Kamala Harris' appearance on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast with host Alex Cooper and paying Oprah Winfrey $1 million to host and interview her, comes news about Morissette.

On November 10, a user on X shared a tweet revealing that Canadian singer "Alanis Morissette had to cancel giving her support to Kamala Harris because the check would not clear. Isn't that ironic."

Internet uncovers why Beyonce skipped performing at Kamala Harris' rally

The post quickly gained attention, sparking waves of responses and comparisons to Beyonce's recent appearance at an October 25 rally in Houston. Users joked that Beyonce, addressing the crowd as a mother and community leader rather than a performer, might have sensed the campaign’s financial struggles.

Another user wrote, "Kamala cancelled Alanis Morestte and the reason Beyonce didn't perform... Outta money! No money? $1 billion sure went fast?"

Another said, "The Harris campaign was like a teenage girl with daddy's credit card. This is who the left wanted signing America’s checks?"

A user commented, "That is why Beyoncé didn’t sing on that rally."

Others took a broader view, comparing the campaign’s alleged debt to the entertainment-like nature of the last two election cycles.

"The 2020 primaries were like a game show, elimination rounds and prizes for all participants. The 2024 campaign was just as entertainment-cringe with hired actors and I bet prizes were promised," one commented.

Comments continued to roll in, with users humorously questioning Harris’ suitability for managing the nation’s budget. One quipped, “Harris wanted to be in charge of our budget,” while another joked, “And who would have thought? It figures.”

Another user wrote, "Hysterical This is plain proof that none of these celebrities and millionaires actually don’t support her, they saw her as a cash cow from the hardworking American’s piggy bank."

DNC official calls Harris campaign 'A $1 Billion Disaster' amid financial fallout

Following Vice President Kamala Harris’ loss in the 2024 election, her presidential campaign has faced heavy criticism, with some questioning the campaign’s financial strategies and massive spending. Lindy Li, a Democratic National Committee official, described Harris’ campaign as “a $1 billion disaster,” citing substantial debt reportedly nearing $20 million.

Speaking on 'Fox & Friends Weekend' on November 9, Li expressed her disappointment, saying, “This is just an epic disaster. I raised millions of that. I have friends I have to be accountable to.”

Li claimed the campaign's messaging promised supporters a tight race and a potential victory, convincing many donors to contribute large sums. “She even put videos out saying Harris would win,” Li stated. “I believed her, my donors believed her, and so they wrote massive checks. I just feel like a lot of us were misled.”

President-elect Donald Trump did not shy away from responding to reports of the campaign’s alleged debt. On November 9, he posted on X, expressing surprise over the Democratic Party’s financial troubles, suggesting that after raising record-breaking amounts in previous elections, he expected they would have significant reserves.

“I am very surprised that the Democrats, who fought a hard and valiant fight in the 2020 Presidential Election, raising a record amount of money, didn't have lots of $'s left over,” Trump wrote.

Despite the uproar, neither Harris nor her team has issued an official response to the reports or addressed the alleged $20 million debt.
