    It’s Kamala Harris’s name on all those donations and bank account for the campaign along with Biden.

    Eh…

    PAC money is pretty fluid, and dark money hasn’t even really started yet.

    Pacs can pay another PAC no problem. It’s common to obfuscate where money came from.

    Whoever the candidate is would have no problem getting Biden’s money if the people running the PACs want to move it

    Doesn’t matter whose name is on the current Pac, it matters what the person controlling the purse strings wants. And legally there’s a (even just gor appearances) separation between the candidate and the PAC

      There is probably over 400 million in the bank for the Campaign to Re-elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. I don’t think it’s going to be left on the table. Nice try though.

        Huh?

        I said the opposite, that moving the money to whoever is the candidate would be trivial…

            I legitimately don’t know what you’re going on about…

            You think Harris controls Biden’s campaign funds?

            Like, in the event that Biden just drops and doesn’t hand it off, yeah, Harris would have a shot at claiming it.

            But that would never happen, it would get handed off to Biden’s replacement. He can move that money anywhere, likely to a PAC.

            And are you just talking about campaign? Because your number is like 4 times higher than reality… I don’t know if you’re that far off or including PACs?

            I’m here to help bro, but it’s really hard to keep up when none of what you’re saying is based on facts and I’m having to try and fill in the gaps and assume what you meant.

            Do you even want someone to explain this for you? If not, that’s cool. I’m not trying to argue, I’m trying to help.

              I think if you count the number of bad takes you have on a daily basis, you might want to give it a rest.

                No worries, I thought you were just here for discussion not slap fights, although to be honest I’ve had doubts.

                Thanks for clearing it up, have a nice life, I sincerely hope it gets better.
