Kamala Harris drops bid for 2020 Democratic nomination
Washington Examiner, Dec 3, 2019

Kamala Harris has bowed out of contention for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.

Hours before Harris announced she was exiting the Democratic primary, her campaign canceled a New York City fundraiser that was expected to have a number of her wealthy bundlers in attendance. At the time, Harris's team said the cancellation was because of a "personal matter" and offered no further explanation.

In November, she closed down her entire New Hampshire campaign operations, in a bid to shift all her resources to the Iowa caucuses. Weeks earlier, Harris fired dozens of staffers from her campaign headquarters in Baltimore, Maryland. By the end of the third quarter, Harris's campaign had the highest cash burn rate of any other candidate running for office, spending 122.9% of all dollars donated.

I'm surprised.



But, she accomplished what she wanted. She will be considered a politician on a national level from now on out. No matter how bad her campaign and ideas were.

No longer top tier. Guess she can kick back, light up a doobie and listen to Tupac.

Well, buh-bye.

I guess we can thank Tulsi and Kameltoe's Jussie connection for this. LOL

Maybe she can still "audition" to be Bloomberg's VP...

Harris to supporters: 'I'm not a billionaire. I can't fund my own campaign'
The Hill, Dec 3, 2019

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) on Tuesday acknowledged that her presidential campaign no longer had the resources it needed to stay afloat and said that unlike some of the Democratic primary field’s billionaire candidates, she could not afford to self-fund her White House bid.

In a lengthy email to supporters, Harris announced that she was ending her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination amid mounting fundraising and financial challenges.

“I’ve taken stock and looked at this from every angle, and over the last few days have come to one of the hardest decisions of my life,” Harris wrote in the email. "My campaign for president simply doesn’t have the financial resources we need to continue.”

She also appeared to take a shot at the billionaire candidates vying for the Democratic nomination, Tom Steyer and Michael Bloomberg, who have largely self-funded their presidential bids and have consequently outspent the rest of the field in advertising.

“I’m not a billionaire. I can’t fund my own campaign. And as the campaign has gone on, it’s become harder and harder to raise the money we need to compete,” Harris wrote. “In good faith, I can’t tell you, my supporters and volunteers, that I have a path forward if I don’t believe I do.”

Yeah, the demonrats are a mess. On one hand there's Warren/Sanders beating the daylights out of billionaires and on the other hand a billionaire will probably be their nominee.

I'm not sensing a blue wave in 2020
