As the last of Kamala Harris' campaign cackles fade over Washington, D.C., the toll of the financial destruction she and her campaign brought to the Democrat Party is just beginning to be made known.

We've previously reported on the fallout of the Harris campaign's extreme overspending, which saw the Democrat presidential candidate blow an unprecedented amount of money in a rather short period of time:

One of the most fascinating presidential election post-mortems has got to be the forensic look into the freewheeling spending habits of Kamala Harris, who managed to blow over $1 billion dollars in the 107 days that she was the Democrat Party's presidential candidate.

Each post-election day seems to bring more news of just how recklessly the Harris campaign spent its donors' dollars. For instance, the campaign spent $2.8 million in private jet travel for its staffers in the waning days of her presidential run. So much for protecting the environment!

All of this spending is not without its consequences, as the Democrat National Committee (DNC) is just now finding out. It is reported to be drowning in $20 million worth of debt, courtesy of freewheeling Kamala Harris, and is having to take drastic action in order to keep the lights on. 

This is not ideal for a party that is facing at least two years in the political wilderness; going into the 2026 election cycle, stone-cold broke shows just how irresponsible the left is when it comes to fiscal management. Someone must pay the price, though, and in typical Washington, D.C., fashion, it's the not the decision-makers who bear the burden of their monetary mismanagement, it's the rank-and-file staffers.

Starting last Wednesday, the DNC reportedly began making drastic cuts to their workforce, which were effective on Friday and didn't include any severance pay. The union that represents DNC employees — of course they are unionized — is not pleased.

One day’s notice, no severance—the DNC fights for workers, just not their own.

This was apparently not your typical post-election culling of temporary staff; this seems to have hit people considered permanent staff, some of whom have worked at the DNC for a decade. One fired staffer was on to something with this comment:

"If they want to be the party of the working people they should have more respect for their workers. There's an inauthenticity to how they talk about workers and clearly voters feel the same thing."

Those familiar with the workings of the DNC are trying to downplay the layoffs, saying, "The reality is: this is what happens when you lose. We have a generation of people who haven't had to go through a really brutal loss. We aren't trying to hatchet people."

While you never like to hear of people losing their jobs, especially on the cusp of the holiday season, it's hard to feel too sorry for them, as the DNC spent months bragging about the gobs of money they were bringing in following the coup to replace Joe Biden with Kamala Harris on the presidential ticket. Oh, they were so pleased with themselves for bagging $500 million in the first month of the Harris campaign.

One thing is for sure: Democrats are really good at spending other peoples' money.

Being a Democrat means never having to face any consequences; they own the government, media, entertainment, institutions of higher learning, and the list goes on and on, so they never have to face the repercussions of being a party run amok. But, Donald Trump changed everything, and Democrats are now finding out the hard way that they're not the unstoppable juggernaut they think they are; there's a Donald Trump-shaped speed bump in their way.

Whether or not the Democrat Party will be able to rein in their drunken sailor spending habits remains to be seen, but, at this point, you'd much rather be the Republican Party as we head into 2025.
