Democratic megadonor John Morgan delivered a scathing assessment of Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign spending, suggesting it should mark the end of her political aspirations.
The financial scope of Harris’s brief presidential campaign was staggering, with reports indicating that her campaign and the Democratic Party expended nearly $1.5 billion after her July 21 campaign launch.
HOLY SMOKES: Democrat mega-donor John Morgan says Kamala Harris’s political future is OVER after she completely botched her campaign.
“If you can’t run a campaign, you can’t run a country.”
When Chris Cuomo asked him if someone stole the donation money, Morgan replied, “Well,… pic.twitter.com/aFWIIIQ3XJ

During an appearance on “CUOMO,” Morgan didn’t mince words. “A lot of people got rich on the back of donors trying to stop Trump. And I think this disqualifies her forever. Forever. If you can’t run a campaign, you can’t run America. And that would be the argument just day one. So it was terrible,” he told Chris Cuomo. “Look, I think she did a good job in the debate. I think she did as good a job as you could hope for in a short period of time.”
Morgan continued his critique, stating, “I told you, I told everybody, she should not have been the nominee. She was not going to win. And she didn’t win and she lost badly. So she’s got to go figure out her life … She’s having a call with donors this week, they tell me, about her political future. I don’t think she has a political future.”
The financial implications for the Democratic Party appear significant, with sources revealing to Axios that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) has accumulated substantial debt while supporting Harris’s campaign against President-elect Donald Trump. The situation has led to widespread staff reductions at the DNC.
Patrick Stauffer, Harris’s campaign chief financial officer, contested these financial concerns, telling Bloomberg, “As of Election Day, there were no outstanding debts or bills overdue.”

Political analyst Mark Halperin joined the chorus of skepticism about Harris’s political prospects. “I think it’s ridiculous, given her performance, for people to remove from the equation the question of, is she a good person at running for president? She’s now run twice and done poorly both times, and I think it’s incumbent upon the media and Democrats — have an honest and fair discussion about whether this is the right role for her, because she’s 0 for 2 in pretty dramatic fashion,” he said.
Despite these criticisms, insiders close to Harris indicate she’s keeping her political options open, potentially eyeing either a 2028 presidential run or a 2026 California gubernatorial campaign.
