Kamala Harris, named Tuesday to be Joe Biden’s running mate, still has more than $1 million in unpaid bills left over from her failed 2020 presidential bid, according to a report.
The California senator raised about $39 million for her White House bid in 2019 and spent about $40 million, leaving her campaign with just $116,380 in the bank at the end of June, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, citing Federal Election Commission filings.
Harris ended her campaign last December amid falling poll numbers and a lack of fundraising.
International law firm Perkins Coie LLP was still owed $523,883 at the end of June, while TorchStone Global LLC, a corporate and private security company, was owed $160,702, the report said.
California political consulting firm SCRB Strategies had $92,4087 in outstanding invoices.
Donors have contributed slightly more than $48,000 to her campaign this year.
The report noted that the campaign can’t be shuttered until all debts are paid under federal law.
And while Biden raised $26 million in a day after announcing her selection, his campaign can do little to retire Harris’ campaign debt.
It can donate $2,000 and the Democratic National Committee can contribute $5,000.
But Biden can ask his donors to send funds to Harris’ campaign.
