DNC’s Harris Campaign Payouts Surpass $20 Million, Leaving Just $12 Million on Hand

Uncertainty over the remaining balance complicates party rebuilding given shrinking cash.

Overview

  • The committee paid $1.6 million in September toward debts from Kamala Harris’s 2024 bid, pushing total DNC payments past $20 million.
  • Harris’s 107-day campaign spent about $1.5 billion, and vendors are still sending invoices nearly a year later.
  • The DNC reported roughly $12 million in cash at the end of September compared with the RNC’s reported $86 million.
  • Party officials say they do not know the full amount still outstanding from the campaign’s obligations.
  • The ongoing costs coincide with investments in Virginia and New Jersey and draw comparisons to debt the committee carried after 2012, which was not retired until 2015.
