Brad Todd, a Republican political strategist, ridiculed the Harris campaign, telling The Examiner, “Money can’t buy you love or a good candidate.” He further commented, “Advertising matters, but not if the message is wrong and delivered poorly. Harris’s campaign failed to make any meaningful break from the unpopular administration she was part of, and no amount of spending could make up for that.”

Harris’s inability to connect with voters became glaringly apparent as her attempts to utilize popular media formats fell flat. With lavish expenditures on poorly targeted content, the campaign left behind a trail of debt and a narrative of failure that will likely haunt her political future.

According to the report, despite raising a substantial war chest of $1 billion, the Harris campaign ended in financial ruin, leaving vendors and staff unpaid while donation pages remain active to cover an estimated $20 million shortfall.
