President-elect Donald Trump offered to pay off the Harris-Walz Campaign’s debt in a hilarious Truth Social post on Saturday morning.
After raising more than a billion dollars from corporations, financial firms and celebrity donors, Americans were stunned to learn that the Harris-Walz Campaign ended the cycle with $20 million in debt. The campaign’s strategy of hiring high-profile music artists to perform concerts on elaborate sets ahead of the vice president’s rallies is being blamed as a major contributor to the debt, as vendors and staff are worried that they won’t be paid, according to a report from the New York Post.
Trump told them that they shouldn’t be worried, however, as the president-elect suggested that he will be picking up the tab in a hilarious social media post. “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 in a Truth Social post.

“Now they are being squeezed by vendors and others. Whatever we can do to help them during this difficult period, I would strongly recommend we, as a Party and for the sake of desperately needed UNITY, do. We have a lot of money left over in that our biggest asset in the campaign was ‘Earned Media,’ and that doesn’t cost very much. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Members of the ill-fated Harris-Walz Campaign told the New York Post that there is a-lot of finger-pointing going on in the days following the loss, with many citing expensive pre-rally concerts as a major funding sink.
On just election eve alone, the campaign hosted concerts in all seven swing states. Jon Bon Jovi played in Detroit, Christina Aguilera in Las Vegas, Katy Perry in Pittsburgh and Lady Gaga in Philadelphia, while rapper 2 Chains performed in Atlanta. The results were abysmal, however, as Trump managed to sweep all seven battlegrounds and the popular vote.
Two sources told the outlet that Obama Campaign veterans Stephanie Cutter and David Plouffe pushed the concert strategy as a way to turn out low-propensity voters. “Harris added Cutter and Plouffe to her campaign shortly after replacing President Biden atop the party’s ticket in July, generating internal tensions with the existing Biden campaign team as the newcomers sought to replay the 44th president’s successful 2008 campaign,” The Post reported.
While the artists donated their time to the campaign, construction of elaborate sets sapped up manpower and campaign finances that could have been directed elsewhere. At least one planned performance from 90’s rock star Alanis Morissette was reportedly scrapped in order to save money.
