Harris to Transfer $25 Million to Down-Ballot Races

Source: Political Wire

“Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee plan to transfer nearly $25 million to support down-ballot Democratic candidates in state and federal races this year, a significant boost to those efforts following record fundraising for her campaign this summer,” the Washington Post reports.

Politico: “The funding in part reflects the Harris operation’s ability to spread money around after record fundraising over the past six weeks. But it is also a recognition of the importance of this year’s down-ballot races — which overlap with many of the swaths of the country that could decide the presidential election, and whose outcomes will substantially affect how Harris, or former President Donald Trump, will be able to govern next year.”

Trump gets mad if they collect money and don't give him a taste. that's why he put his daughter-in-law in charge of collections.

to a fellow Republican candidate, let alone $25 million!

And not only does this showcase Kamala's wonderful generosity and team spirit, but it also shows her strength and confidence in her position at this point in the election cycle.

And Kamala, if you're listening, our Democratic candidate Monica Tranel here in Montana could certainly use some financial campaign assistance. She is running against Ryan Zinke, who is SO corrupt that he had to resign in disgrace from his position as secretary of the interior in the TRUMP administration (now THAT'S corrupt!). If you could throw some bucks Monica's way, that'd be awesome. She is amazing!
