The Vice President’s 2024 presidential campaign is facing scrutiny following reports that Canadian singer Alanis Morissette backed out of a performance due to a lack of funds to pay her. As Democrats analyze their strategy after the losses in the 2024 elections, allegations of mismanagement regarding the significant funds raised by the campaign have come to light.
Harris’ campaign raised just over $1 billion and had spent more than $900 million as of October 16th, according to the Federal Election Commission. Now, Lindy Li, a member of the DNC Finance Committee, claims the Harris campaign is allegedly $20 million in debt, states NewsNation.
Following reports that the campaign spent six figures to construct a set for Kamala Harris’s appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, hosted by Alex Cooper, and paid Oprah Winfrey $1 million to host and interview Harris, new information regarding Morissette has emerged.
Harris campaign focused on cost-cutting?
While there is a lot of criticism of Harris’ campaign for paying millions for celebrity events, her campaign cut Alanis Morissette from the lineup to save money.
COST CUTTING: While there is a lot of criticism of Kamala Harris for paying millions for the endorsement of celebrities, very few give her credit for drawing the line – she cut Alanis Morissette from the lineup to save money. That is responsible budgeting.

On November 10th, a user on X shared a tweet revealing that Canadian singer Alanis Morissette allegedly had to cancel a performance over payment.
The post went on to gain attention and it sparked waves of responses and comparisons to Beyonce’s recent appearance at an October 25th rally in Houston. Users joked that Beyonce, addressing the crowd as a mother and community leader rather than a performer, might have sensed the campaign’s financial struggles.
Another user wrote, “Harris cancelled Alanis Morestte and the reason Beyonce didn’t perform… Outta money!”
Others took a broader view, comparing the campaign’s alleged debt to the entertainment-like nature of the last two election cycles.
