Kamala Harris has been quietly working to make sure she has access to Joe Biden's 'war chest', even though the Americans who donated to Biden never intended those monies to go to Kamala. It must be tough for Kamala knowing nobody really wanted her ...
Kidding.
She'd have to have some sort of integrity and self-respect for any of this to bother her, and clearly, she does not. Case in point, Laura Powell reported on Kamala's efforts to get Biden's money.
Take a look:
Laura Powell (@LauraPowellEsq) ~ UPDATE: Last night, Kamala Harris personally filed an updated Statement of Candidacy (aka Form 2) to designate Tim Walz as her running mate.
Since she used Biden’s personal candidate ID number (P80000722) instead of her own (P00009423), the FEC records are convoluted. Her newly filed Form 2 shows up on Biden's personal FEC page. But, if you look at the 2024 election cycle, Biden is erased and replaced with Harris, as if he was never ever running for President.
Looking at Biden’s campaign committee’s FEC record, it’s now associated with both Biden’s and Harris’s candidacies for President for the period of 2020-2022. But, that makes no sense, because Harris’s Presidential run in 2020 was never linked to Biden’s, and she ceased her campaign for President in 2020 and did not run again until 2024. Now, Harris’s personal FEC candidate ID number (P00009423) — which is supposed to follow her for all Presidential campaigns for life — is somehow linked to Biden’s Presidential campaign in 2020. Only her Vice-Presidential campaign was never linked to Biden’s, but that is separate from any Presidential campaigns.
The current 2023-2024 FEC record for “Biden for President” (aka “Harris for President,” ID number C00703975) is linked to two Presidential candidates. Both are named “Kamala Harris.” One of these candidates is associated with Harris’s candidate ID number (P00009423), and the other “Kamala Harris” is associated with Biden’s candidate ID number (P80000722).
The Statement of Candidacy that Kamala Harris filed on July 29, using Biden’s personal candidate ID number (P80000722), now shows up under Harris’s ID number. But, last night’s filing for that same candidate — number P80000722 — shows up for the other “Kamala Harris” who is running for President. (Based on what happened previously, I suspect the FEC will shift these records in the future, to make it seem like there aren’t so many discrepancies between the names and the ID numbers.)
Confused? That’s because these filings from Harris are irregular. If Kamala Harris had used her own candidate ID number, like every other candidate in modern history, this wouldn’t have been so complicated, but then it would have been difficult to make the case that she’s entitled to Biden’s war chest. Undoubtedly, these filings are trying to circumvent those pesky campaign finance laws.
By the way, since Walz has never run for President, he doesn’t have his own FEC candidate ID for a Presidential run. According the the logic of Harris’s supporters, Walz is equally entitled to any funds from the campaign committee associated with ID number C00703975. And, just as Harris felt entitled to file an amended Statement of Candidacy using Biden’s personal candidate ID number because she was the Vice Presidential candidate, Walz could do the same, using Biden’s personal candidate ID number to run for President if he wanted to. The Democrats could pass this campaign down in perpetuity, without even obtaining the formal agreement of the prior candidate.
This reminds me of a system of government that isn’t considered anything like a democracy.
Ironic ain't it? Watching the same Democrats who have been screeching for nearly a decade about defending democracy obliterating it in just one election.

And they wouldn't even have to create any NEW felonies to make it happen.
Crazy, right?
RicM916 (@RicM916_1967) ~ {Replying to @LauraPowellEsq} These clear violations must be IMMEDIATELY challenged.
Laura Powell (@LauraPowellEsq) ~ {Replying to @RicM916_1967} They have been challenged, but everyone says the FEC will not resolve the matter in time for the election, so it's a shrug of the shoulders. 🫤
Ain't that convenient for Kamala?
It's all real simple ... just refund all of those Biden campaign contributions back to the original donors and then let them recontribute those funds to the Kamala-ala-Bimbo campaign, if they so wish. There ... that keeps it all above board, don'tcha know.
