Election recount? Donations from the Harris fundraiser will be used for the effort

play

WASHINGTON – A portion of donations made to the Harris Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee authorized by the Harris campaign, the Democratic National Committee and state Democratic parties, will be directed toward a recount effort, according to its fundraising page.

The move comes after former President Donald Trump officially swept all seven battleground states and secured 312 electoral votes in the 2024 presidential race, taking control of the White House. In some states, Trump beat Vice President Kamala Harris by narrow margins, including by less than a percentage point in Wisconsin and by less than two points in Michigan.

The fundraising page states that “the first $41,300/$15,000 from an individual/multi-candidate committee (“PAC”) will be allocated to the DNC. The next $3,300/$5,000 from a person/PAC will be allocated to Harris for the president’s recount account. »

It does not include additional details about when the recount effort will take place and who will lead the effort.

Harris officially conceded the race to Trump in a speech she gave at Howard University the day after Election Day, saying the nation must accept the election results.

“While I recognize this election, I don’t recognize the fight that fueled this campaign,” she said. “We will continue to fight this fight in the voting booths, in the courts and in the public square, and we will also fight it more discreetly, in the way we live our lives, treating each other with kindness and respect .”

The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
