With Kamala Harris’ failed presidential campaign over, people are starting to investigate just how bad her financials were. How did she manage to blow through over a billion dollars in just a few short months, ending up $20 million in debt? Part of that answer surrounded a myriad of celebrity endorsements.
It’s already been reported that Harris spent one million dollars to garner Ophrah Winfrey’s support, but more numbers are coming out, and they are mind-blowing. Fox News revealed some of the details on Wednesday.
Beyonce = 10 MILLION
Lizzo = 2.3 MILLION
Meghan The Stallion = 5 MILLION
Eminem = 1.8 MILLION
Oprah = 1 MILLION
Call Her Daddy = 500k
etc, etc.

FAULKNER: Let’s go over these numbers. $10 million for Beyonce to step up and back Kamala Harris publicly. $5 million for Megan thee Stallion. $3 million for Lizzo. $1.8 million for Eminem. I mean, is that normally how it goes? You spend $20 million. You get yourself in debt to try to get a bunch of celebrities on stage. I’ve never seen that. Maybe I’m ignorant of the fact, but wow.
That’s not all either. The list includes Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, and Lady Gaga, among many others. Some of the costs are being spun as production costs for pre-rally concerts, but that doesn’t make sense for someone like Beyonce, who just walked up to a microphone and gave a two-minute statement.
Notably, those who came up in support of Trump appear to have done so organically. There’s no record of Elon Musk or Joe Rogan, for example, being paid a dime for their endorsements, and I don’t expect that to change. Meanwhile, Harris was having to go into debt to get the shrill support of people who had previously claimed that democracy was a stake. I guess it wasn’t at stake enough for them to donate their time to the person they all said could protect it. Funny how that works.
Are you ready for the best part, though? It turns out that having Harris’ campaign become a pop concert circuit was the idea of former Obama advisors who had joined the campaign.

The pop concert strategy was said to have been the brainchild of former Obama advisors on the campaign.
I’m going to need someone to figure out a way to cook that down so I can inject it directly into my veins. Nothing makes me happier regarding the election than knowing it was the Obama bro contingent that ultimately helped bring about Kamala Harris’ downfall. It’s just so satisfying.
This is what happens when you throw democracy out the window, boot your nominee, and replace him with the most inauthentic, pathetic candidate to ever run on a major party ticket. Democrats thought they could trot out a line of celebrities and that would cause people to forget about the price of groceries. It was always an incredibly tone-deaf, insulting play. Now that it’s officially failed, we can all laugh at the results.
