The Harris-Walz campaign was quite a racket.

Mark Ames @MarkAmesExiled So the Harris campaign was The Producers irl. They knew they were blowing through $1.5 billion in 15 weeks with no chance of winning, and to make sure they lost they brought the Cheneys and Richie Torres on stage. The point was to wash as much stupid money as fast as possible.

There were seven swing-state concerts that involved high-priced performers - Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Jon Bon Jovi, Ricky Martin and more - who seemingly ended up costing the Harris campaign more than $20 million on event production alone, and reportedly even more on paying the celebrities to appear. Even Oprah Winfrey charged the campaign $1 million to show up. The campaign went so far into debt that the campaign was reportedly forced to scrap Canadian Nineties indie-pop singer Alanis Morissette to save money. The pop concert campaign strategy is said to have been the brainchild of former Obama advisors on the campaign.
