Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign and the Democratic National Committee spent close to $1.5 billion in their unsuccessful presidential bid, but they didn’t go into debt doing so, according to the campaign’s chief financial officer.

Soon after Vice President Kamala Harris lost the presidential election, Democratic officials began working on a postmortem on her campaign, seeking to find out what went wrong. Lawmakers offered numerous potential reasons for her loss, including that Harris put forward inadequate economic proposals and alienated key constituencies.

As the United States approaches the November 5 election, the Democratic Party stands at a historic juncture with Kamala Harris as the party's official nominee. This nomination reflects a legacy of evolution that has transformed the Democrats from their origins in the early days of the republic to a modern entity championing inclusivity and progressive values.
