The reality is that the campaign donations accumulated by the Biden/Harris ticket are only available to Harris. Anybody else is funding-challenged even more than Harris at this point. From the standpoint of campaign finance laws and the practical realities of fund-raising, it was Harris all along.
- pan69 2y agoThe Biden/Harris campaign can not donate their donations?
- dbcurtis 2y agoI must admit that I don't know all the nuance of campaign finance laws, but the donors gave their money to a particular campaign. It isn't completely clear to me under what circumstances those funds can be pledged to another candidate without getting the original donors' sign-off. But as I understand it, much of the Biden/Harris money is restricted to the campaign.
- jiveturkey 2y agoYou think Harris would abdicate?

- humanlion87 2y agoThey can donate the entire fund to the DNC. And then the DNC can choose to transfer it to the new nominee. There are a few technicalities though.
- tylerhou 2y agoGenerally no. They could refund their donations and ask their donators to donate to the new campaign. Or they could donate to a superpac.
- toast0 2y agoI've been seeing things that say they could form a SuperPAC with the existing donations and we know SuperPACs have more or less no real limit on spending as long as it's not coordinated with a candidate. OTOH, candidates get a better ad rate than SuperPACs, so there's a lot of dollar effeciency lost if you have to go that way.
