FEC commissioner says Harris campaign going to take millions in Biden donations ‘and run’
< < Go Back
The presidential campaign for Vice President Kamala Harris hasn’t reached out to to elections officials about the handling of millions of dollars in donations that were given to then-candidate President Biden.
Federal Elections Commission Chairman Sean Cooksey said candidates would normally give back contributions if they drop out of a race.
“That doesn’t seem to be what’s happening here,” Cooksey told “The Ingraham Angle” on Monday. “It seems like, instead, what the Democrats are going to do is take the money and run, give it to the Harris campaign, not bother to get any FEC guidance and just deal with the consequences of that after the election.”
Candidates can have the FEC conduct an expedited review within 20 days and get a “thumbs up or thumbs down” from the agency about whether keeping certain financial donations are acceptable, Cooksey said.
“It looks like they’re about to spend all that money and deal with any enforcement matters or lawsuits later,” he said.
The FEC is an independent agency of the U.S. government that enforces campaign finance laws. It doesn’t have the ability to issue restraining orders, Cooksey said.
