Despite winning the election, Donald Trump isn’t done poking fun at the Democrats. The president-elect took to his social media platform Truth Social on Saturday to speculate on the party’s campaign funds. “I am very surprised that the Democrats, who fought a hard and valiant fight in the 2020 Presidential Election, raising a record amount of money, didn’t have lots of $’s left over,” Trump wrote. Trump’s statement seemingly refers to The New York Times report that the Kamala Harris campaign raised over $1 billion. “Now they are being squeezed by vendors and others. Whatever we can do to help them during this difficult period, I would strongly recommend we, as a Party and for the sake of desperately needed UNITY, do,” he added before bragging that his campaign had “a lot of money left over.” His Saturday comments come after Politico’s Christopher Cadelago reported on X Wednesday that the Harris campaign found themselves in $20 million of debt following her defeat. While the Harris campaign didn‘t comment when contacted about the alleged debt, Lindy Li, from the DNC’s National Finance Committee, called the campaign “a $1 billion disaster” in a Saturday Fox & Friends Weekend appearance.
