Democratic megadonor John Morgan has called for the end of Kamala Harris’ political career, citing her failure in the 2024 presidential race and the exorbitant campaign spending that accompanied her bid.
During an appearance on the “CUOMO” show Monday, Morgan expressed frustration over Harris’ inability to run a successful campaign, emphasizing that her substantial spending and poor performance in the race disqualify her from any future political roles.
Harris, who launched her presidential bid on July 21, 2024, spent an estimated $1.5 billion on her campaign, a sum that raised concerns within her party. Morgan said on the show, “A lot of people got rich on the back of donors trying to stop Trump. And I think this disqualifies her forever. Forever. If you can’t run a campaign, you can’t run America.”

Morgan’s comments came after Harris faced a resounding loss in her presidential bid, prompting him to declare that she has no political future. “Look, I think she did a good job in the debate. I think she did as good a job as you could hope for in a short period of time,” he said. “But I told you, I told everybody, she should not have been the nominee. She was not going to win. And she didn’t win and she lost badly. So she’s got to go figure out her life.”
Harris is reportedly scheduled to hold a call with donors this week to discuss her political future.
However, Morgan remains convinced that Harris’ political career is finished, stating, “I don’t think she has a political future.”
Host Chris Cuomo raised the question of how Harris’ campaign spending might affect the future of the Democratic Party. Morgan didn’t mince words, calling the spending “terrible.”
He added, “She cannot be trusted with the money,” highlighting concerns over the financial mismanagement during Harris’ campaign.

While Morgan criticized the campaign’s fiscal handling, other sources have raised concerns about the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) financial state following Harris’ loss.
Reports have suggested that the DNC may be facing millions of dollars in debt, with some sources indicating that the committee has already fired hundreds of employees due to mounting financial pressures.

Axios recently reported that the DNC’s debt is a growing concern, exacerbated by efforts to back Harris in her failed attempt to defeat President-elect Donald Trump.
However, Patrick Stauffer, Harris’ campaign chief financial officer, has denied claims that the party is in significant debt.
In an interview with Bloomberg, Stauffer stated, “As of Election Day, there were no outstanding debts or bills overdue,” seeking to downplay concerns about the DNC’s finances.
Political analyst Mark Halperin also weighed in on Harris’ political prospects, noting her poor performance in two presidential races. “I think it’s ridiculous, given her performance, for people to remove from the equation the question of, is she a good person at running for president? She’s now run twice and done poorly both times, and I think it’s incumbent upon the media and Democrats — have an honest and fair discussion about whether this is the right role for her, because she’s 0 for 2 in pretty dramatic fashion,” Halperin said.
As Harris contemplates her next political move, sources close to the vice president told Politico that she is keeping her options open.
Harris is reportedly considering a potential run for president again in 2028 or a campaign for California governor in 2026.
Five individuals within Harris’ inner circle confirmed that she is deliberating on the best path forward, signaling that her political career may not be over just yet, though her future remains uncertain.
