Kamala Harris’s First Fundraiser a Dud: Raises Less than JD Vance Did in Single Lunch
Quote:Vice President Kamala Harris’s first fundraiser — occurring after Democrats informally coronated her as the Democrat nominee — was largely a dud, failing to raise close to what former President Donald Trump’s running mate, JD Vance (R-OH), raised in a single luncheon event.
The Massachusetts event at the Colonial Theatre drew about 750 people. While it was planned prior to Biden dropping out of the race, it seems Harris’s involvement failed to create a new breath of enthusiasm — at least, according to the fundraising numbers.
According to WBUR, Democrats raised $1.5 million at the fundraising event, where tickets ranged from $100 to $12,000. It featured Yo Yo Ma, James Taylor, and of course, Harris, whom Biden has tapped to replace him in the 2024 race to the White House. According to WBUR, Taylor introduced Harris, telling the audience, “May our ardent support be the wind in her sails.”
“Our hopes go with her and she stands for us all. It is my privilege, honor and great pleasure to introduce the next president of the United States, Vice President Kamala Harris,” Taylor stated.
In turn, Harris shared her vision of a future that “promotes both economic growth and economic fairness, where every person has the opportunity to compete, thrive and prosper.” It appears Harris made no mention of the stark reality of Bidenomics and the impact it has had on Americans across the country. However, her remark matches up with a favorite theme throughout the years, promoting “equity” over actual equality — leftist speak for promoting socialism. Harris pushed this concept just days ahead of the election in 2020 as well.
Trump senior adviser Jason Miller reacted to the news of Harris’s fundraising numbers with a stark comparison.
“Yawn. Kamala Harris has to do better than that. @JDVance raised a record-setting $2M alone during a lunchtime fundraising event in Oklahoma City last Friday!” he exclaimed.
The comparison comes as Trump, Vance, and their team make it clear that they are not threatened by Harris — or any other Democrat — stepping in as the Democrat nominee for president.
“As President Trump has pointed out, Kamala Harris owns all of the bad policies of the Biden administration and so does any other plausible Democrat, so I really see this as we’re running against the entire Democratic Party apparatus,” Vance told Breitbart News on July 22.
“It doesn’t matter who they put as the figurehead. We don’t want an open border. We don’t want the inflation and affordability problems caused by Joe Biden. We don’t want a foreign policy that leads to war and destruction all over the world. We want to bring back some common sense and prosperity. That is what President Trump and I are going to keep on hammering,” Vance continued.
“I think that it’s important for us to talk about what we want to do for the American people because the Democrats are clearly going to play musical chairs until they find somebody who they think can beat us — voters be damned — but we’re going to keep on running on our message and I think that’s something the American people will reward,” Vance added.
Democrats are now realizing that the honeymoon phase is over, as Harris will now have to face her record head-on. Rumor has it Democrat lawmakers, behind the scenes, are privately expressing concerns over Harris’s candidacy and her ability to defeat Trump.

How much was from Vance’s Silicon Valley sugar daddy? And why not include the super pac money raised?

...and pray tell why that matters. I only heard applause when Ol' Foggy's Unholyweird fundraiser raised millions. Aren't they also the Demon's "sugar daddys"?

The honeymoon period is near ending for the cacklin' California jester impersonating a VP. She can't keep hiding behind fund raisers and sorority speaking events if she wants legitimacy. One debate will render her Joe Biden 2.0 without the declined mental state excuse. She's not very smart on any pertinent issue and I believe her handlers know this.

I think the honeymoon lasts through the convention which is why I won't believe any poll before Labor Day.

Yet many polls now show her in a dead heat with Trump, who is waffling on debating her.

Depends on what polls you look at. Like I said, she's still in the honeymoon phase. Has Trump said he won't debate her? He said he probably will but can make a case for not debating. If she tanks in the polls, then debating becomes less critical for him. He didn't debate in any of the presidential primary ones either.

Less than from the overseas actors that paid into ActBlue to give Kamala a record breaking overnight donations.

It's amazing.. A few days prior to Joe dropping out, the media was complaining about how bad she was. She's "crowned" and then she's awesome and several lefties believe that with her experience as a prosecutor she could wipe the floor with Trump.. But couldn't against Tulsi or Mike Pence...

Well fuq, I knew Taylor was a loon, but up until now, I've been willing to separate the art from the artist. Regrettably, many contemporary artists and performers, including my favorite singer-songwriter Jackson Browne, bear a striking resemblance to Taylor. I'll never again support any celebrity who can't keep their politics to themselves but instead uses their celebrity as a megaphone with which they voice support for radical communist ideologues.
