This is the 2024 Presidential Race thread and you posted something about him running for governor. How is it relevant?

I don't live in his state and really don't care if he runs or not.

Black Barber Shops and E-Sports Teams: How Kamala Harris blew through millions in final weeks of campaign​


Vice President Kamala Harris spent well over $20 million on expenses related to event production in the final weeks of the 2024 presidential election, with millions flowing to production companies owned by entertainers, venue payments for star-studded campaign appearances, and makeup services.


The Harris campaign’s final financial disclosure, released Thursday night, covers disbursements ranging from Oct. 17 to Nov. 25, meaning that the Democratic presidential ticket spent over half a million dollars per day in the final stretch of the election to cover event expenses, according to a Washington Examiner review of campaign finance filings.


Among other payments, the campaign wired funds to companies owned by Beyoncé, John Legend, Ricky Martin, Fat Joe, Flo Milli, Katy Perry, and Christina Aguilera. The Washington Examiner previously reported on how one source familiar with the campaign said it spent six figures to build a set for the vice president’s appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast and how it had paid $1 million to Oprah Winfrey’s production company.

One expenditure that stood out among Harris’s spending on events, the lion’s share of which went to professional production companies, was a $20,000 disbursement to Philly Cuts Barbershop. Shortly after the payment was made on Oct. 29, the Harris campaign released a video of the vice president sitting inside of Philly Cuts and speaking with workers about why black men should support her candidacy. The Harris campaign did not disclose that the barber shop, whose employees spoke positively about the vice president, was paid to shoot the video.

Another standout expenditure was the $22,000 the Harris campaign paid to Team Liquid, a group of professional gamers. It’s not immediately clear what the e-sports team was paid for, however, the campaign did make an effort to connect with young male gamers by releasing a Fortnite map during the final week of the election. Commentators noted how the map, titled “Freedom Town,” didn’t allow players to use guns.

Yup

"The truth is we got here because our brand sucks. We tend to put voters in different buckets—black, Hispanic, young, gay, etc.—and treat these groups like they are more progressive than they really are, and somehow unique from each other. At the same time, we’ve made decisions to stop talking to large chunks of the electorate," he wrote.

The party needed to return to investing in all 50 states, he argued.


"But we have a bigger problem," Schale continued. "Sure, we can win elections under the right circumstances, but we no longer have anything remotely close to a long-term winning coalition."

He pointed out how the Democratic Party had been losing blue-collar White voters for several election cycles and that Hispanic voters had been turned off by the party's "socialism talk" in 2020.

So.... black women, who were going to vote democrat anyway, were the biggest block of votes they could count on to push HeelsUp over the finish line. And without them, they wouldn't have made it. Damn I never knew there were so many of them.

They're just about to run out of folks to blame for their failure to connect w/people.
It couldn't be voters are tired of their lousy policies that don't work for the people as
demonstrated over the last 4 years of a complete boondoggle of BS.

Blame White Doug for beating his girlfriend and having his mistress get an abortion.

That was their big plan all along was to have Trump labeled as such. Voters saw
right through it & didn't buy what the retards were selling & rejected the Dems.
It's the economy stupid. Voters have said so for 4 years but Dems ignored us.
Democrats didn't have a message. Kamala, all she could say was she was raised
in a middle class family & everyone knew that was hogwash & it being phony.
