VP Harris' campaign spent over $2.5 million on private flights for staff in October: Report
Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign will likely go down as one of the most wasteful, embarrassing campaigns in modern U.S. history.
Seemingly every day, new data emerges that shows the mountains of money that the campaign blew through with the hopes of keeping her in the White House, including exorbitant expenditures on her campaign staff.
According to Fox News, of the roughly $1 billion spent on her failed presidential campaign, in the month of October alone, the Harris campaign dropped a staggering $2.6 million on private flights for her staffers.
The bombshell news was made available through the release of FEC reports this week.
What happened?
The private flight binge apparently happened in the final few weeks before Election Day, according to the reports.
Fox News noted:
The eyebrow-raising expenses were listed in a Federal Election Commission (FEC) filing obtained by Fox News Digital. According to the FEC filing, in the month of October alone, the Harris campaign spent $2,626,110 on private flights.
It was reported that $2.2 million of that total went to Private Jet Services Group, and $430,000 went to Advanced Aviation Team, a charter flight broker, Fox reported.

The report showed that in September, the Harris campaign dropped even more on private flights for staff, for a total of $3.1 million. Since July, the campaign had spent over $10 million on private flights.
Fox News added:
The expenditures are just a few of several financial decisions for which the campaign has been intensely scrutinized. For example, Harris' team paid Oprah Winfrey's production company $1 million after the TV star spoke at a rally Oct. 15.
Total hypocrite
Like most liberal celebrities, Harris has gone on record many times preaching about the dangers of carbon emissions and climate change, but people like her are usually the first to take private flights on a whim.
Harris, in 2019, made her stance on the issue clear, at least on paper.
"There’s no question we have to be practical. But being practical also recognizes that climate change is an existential threat to us as human beings," Harris told CNN in 2019.
She added, "Being practical recognizes that greenhouse gas emissions are threatening our air and threatening the planet and that it is well within our capacity as human beings to change our behaviors in a way that we can reduce its effects."
