    no it doesn’t harris raised almost a billion in 3 days. that billion was not committed to biden. not even 200 million of it was before he dropped out. trump won on 400 million.

      I’m not sure how any that matters to any campaign finance rules that might prevent Biden from giving his war chest to another candate?

        You dont realize how the majority of money was raised after he dropped out and that trump managed to win with half of the money is relevant to the discussion of ‘only harris could access biden’s campaign funds.’ nonsense reasoning the dnc and media gave for why we absolutely must go with harris as the candidate?

          Oh! Now I get it. You’re talking about something I wasn’t. It’s true none of that has anything to do with the rules specifically, like I thought. But instead, you want to talk about some broader point we weren’t thinking or talking about. Okay. Yes your right. It matters to the larger situation, beyond the scope of our immediate discussion. Thank you for explaining.

            Np. As for the campaign finance laws im also fairly certain those excuses were a load of bunk too. I dont believe anything prevented biden campaign from returning them to the donors and letting them reallocate.
