Harris Campaign In Trouble, Faces Legal Challenge 

Vice President Kamala Harris’ 2024 campaign ran into major legal trouble following an unprecedented move by President Joe Biden.

Biden stepped down as the Democratic party’s presumptive nominee following mounting pressure within his party. The president immediately endorsed Harris as his replacement and moved to transfer his campaign resources to the former president’s.

Reports even showed that the president filed paperwork with the  Federal Election Commission (FEC) to change his campaign name   from “Biden for President” to “Harris for President.”

Former President Donald Trump’s campaign filed a complaint with the FEC on Tuesday, accusing Biden and Kamala Harris of violating campaign finance laws by transferring more than $90 million in fundraising cash to her new campaign.

The former president’s campaign argued in the complaint that Harris is seeking to perpetrate a $91.5 million heist of Joe Biden’s leftover campaign cash.

No, they ‘can’t, legally. But they HAVE.

“Kamala Harris is in the process of committing the largest campaign finance violation in American history and she is using the Commission’s own forms to do it,” the filing reads. “The Commission must not and cannot sit idly by while one candidate takes nearly one hundred million dollars from the authorized committee of another, in violation of the Act and the will of the donors who gave the money in the first place.”

David Warrington, general counsel for the Trump campaign, described Joe Biden’s move as  “a brazen money grab that would constitute the single largest excessive contribution and biggest violation in the history of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971.”

The former president’s campaign also argued that if Harris were a candidate for any position in 2024, federal law requires she file a Statement of Candidacy and her name listed in her authorized committee. The filling noted that the vice president’s name does not appear in the authorized committee name ‘Biden for President, the campaign she is now taking over.

“Then Sunday, rather than filing her own Statement of Candidacy, she merely altered Joe Biden’s to replace his name with hers,” the filing reads.

The FEC filing further argued that there was no legal framework that allowed Harris to simply take over the Biden campaign. The campaign argued that altering a document submitted to a federal agency violates the law.
