Harris’ campaign spent $2.6 on private jet travel in October: report
Vice President Harris’ debt-ridden presidential campaign has come under scrutiny for its extravagant spending on private flights in the final weeks leading up to the election. According to documents obtained from the Federal Election Commission (FEC), the campaign spent a staggering $2.6 million on private flights in the month of October alone.
The expenses ranged from $3,500 to a whopping $940,000 per disbursement, with the majority of the funds going to a company named Private Jet Services Group. Another $430,000 was allocated to Advanced Aviation Team, a charter flight broker. This brings the total expenditure on private flights to over $10 million since July.
In addition to the exorbitant spending on private jets, the campaign has faced criticism for other questionable financial decisions. For example, Harris’ team paid Oprah Winfrey’s production company $1 million after the TV star spoke at a rally. They also gave $4 million to Village Marketing Agency, a company that connects clients with social media influencers, and spent at least $15 million on event production.
The campaign’s use of private jets has not only raised eyebrows for its financial implications but also for its environmental impact. Private jets emit more greenhouse gases per passenger than commercial flights, a fact that seems at odds with Harris’ previous statements on climate change. She has referred to climate change as an “existential threat” and emphasized the importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Harris campaign for comment on these expenditures, but they have yet to respond. It remains to be seen how these financial decisions will impact the campaign’s ongoing debt of $20 million.
As the campaign faces continued scrutiny, it serves as a cautionary tale of the importance of responsible financial management in political campaigns. The extravagant spending on private flights highlights the need for transparency and accountability in campaign finance, especially when public funds are involved.
