The Kamala Harris campaign, along with the Democrat National Committee (DNC) are offloading millions of campaign dollars to other down-ballot races across the country.
Kamala Harris Campaign Reallocates Millions to Down-Ballot Races After Post-Convention Polling Stall Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign is setting a record, albeit one with questionable electoral benefits for Harris.
Harris’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) are offloading nearly $25 million dollars to down-ballot races across the country in “an earlier investment and far more money than the top of the ticket has sent in past election years,” Politico reported.
Why would they take millions away from the Harris campaign with such a short distance to the election?
In 2020, the DNC transferred $5 million to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and $1 million to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee [DSCC] in mid-October, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission.
Politico notes that Democrats did something similar in 2020, but moved far less cash to the other races: The transfers to support down-ballot races are notable both for their timing and large amounts.
The down-ballot spending also follows a terrible week capped by the campaign’s trashing of 13 Gold Star families — an attack that blew up spectacularly.
