to Biden/Harris if they manage to knock Kamala off the ballot as well?

(15,119 posts)I would like to see Kamala elected, since we can't have Biden. But I have read that no one else can use the money.

My heart so so sad & heavy right now. I'm gonna log off of DU for a little while.

(15,119 posts)if she is on the ticket. I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about all the other nefarious bullshit going on that might get her off the ticket. I've heard the talking heads all say no one else can use Biden's war chest, so I'm a little confused about it.

(27,764 posts)Salaries, rent, printing, ads, etc. Our donations will be used to pay those outstanding bills, as they would be if Pres Biden was still running.
None will go to Kamala Harris. She will need all new donations. I hope all those billionaires who wanted to have Biden step down are now ready to support the new candidate, whoever it might be.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
