I’LL GIVE IT TO HER — Trump Trolls Kamala Harris with Hilarious Offer
President-elect Donald Trump seemed to mock Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign after reports indicated it was up to $20 million in debt despite her spending $1 billion on a failed campaign.
“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 posted on X Saturday night, as noted by the New York 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,” he added. “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!”
Though Harris raised far more than Trump, the majority of voters ultimately backed him, giving him a sweeping victory in both the electoral college and the popular vote.
Her campaign’s pre-election concerts, which starred Jon Bon Jovi, Katy Perry, and Lady Gaga, added similar expenses. Now, vendors and staff worry they won’t get paid.
The Harris campaign also spent an impressive six figures on a set for her appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, though it attracted only a fraction of the viewership compared to Trump’s appearance on the “Joe Rogan Experience.”
Another $1 million went to Harpo Productions, Oprah Winfrey’s production company. Staffers told The Post that the extravagant concerts took a major toll on campaign finances.
“Money can’t buy you love or a good candidate,” Republican strategist Brad Todd told The Washington Examiner.
CNN’s data analyst Harry Enten was astonished by Trump’s substantial win over Harris, as Republicans also regained the Senate and gained ground in the House.
“Talk to me about how his support in this election compares to the past,” CNN anchor Kate Bolduan asked.
“You know, I think the breadth of the improvement that Donald Trump had — Holy Toledo!” Enten replied.
“All right. Trump gained ground in 49 states and the District of Columbia compared to 2020. I went back to the record books. When was the last time a party gained in so many different places? You have to go all the way back to 1992, when Bill Clinton improved upon Michael Dukakis’s performance in 49 states, plus the District of Columbia,” he explained.
“The bottom line is, no matter where you look on the map, Kate Bolduan, no matter where you looked, Donald Trump was improving where he did four years ago except for Washington state. It is no wonder that at this particular point, he looks like he’s going to be the first Republican to win the popular vote since George W. Bush back in 2004,” Enten observed.
“And to pull that off, he gained ground where with groups that Republicans do not generally count as part of their winning coalition or really at all. How much ground did he gain?” Bolduan asked further.
“Again — Holy Toledo! It’s just like, oh, my goodness gracious! These are the types of groups that you would never have thought that Donald Trump would have gained so much support among eight years ago when he first won against Hillary Clinton,” he said.
“Trump scores the best GOP showing among 18- to 29-year-olds in 20 years. You have to go all the way back to 2004. How about among Black voters? It was the best performance for Republican candidate for president in 48 years since Gerald Ford back in 1976. And among Hispanic voters, the exit polls only go back since 1972, but Donald Trump’s performance on Tuesday was the best for a Republican presidential candidate in exit poll history,” Enten concluded.
