Kamala Harris Criticized For $2.6M Private Jet Spend In Final Weeks Of Campaign

In the closing weeks of her presidential campaign, Kamala Harris’ team spent $2.6 million on private jet travel, part of a total $12 million expenditure. This lavish spending has drawn sharp criticism, especially given the environmental impact of private jets, which are up to 14 times more polluting than commercial flights.

Criticism from Climate Advocates

Benji Backer, founder of the American Conservation Coalition, slammed Harris for her contradictory stance on climate issues. “We need real solutions, but hypocrisy from leaders like Harris undermines progress,” he told New York Post.

A Costly Campaign Failure

Harris’ campaign, which featured high-profile rallies with stars like Jennifer Lopez and Lady Gaga, has been labeled a “$1 billion disaster.” The campaign is reportedly $20 million in debt, leaving donors and strategists frustrated.

Party Members Speak Out

Lindy Li, co-chair of the Democratic National Committee’s Women’s Caucus, called Harris’ presidential run an “epic disaster,” blaming campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon for misleading supporters. “We were told Harris would win, and millions were raised based on those promises,” said Li.

Strategists Question Spending Priorities

Democratic strategist Jon Reinish criticized the campaign’s extravagant costs, arguing that funds could have been better allocated. “Luxury spending like this could’ve been used to connect with key voter demographics,” he noted.

The fallout from Harris’ campaign spending continues to spark debate among Democratic leaders and donors.
