A surrogate for Kamala Harris’ campaign against now-President-elect Donald Trump told “Fox & Friends Weekend” on Saturday that she was “misled” by top officials and that the overall effort by the vice president was an “epic disaster.”
Lindy Li, who said she raised “millions” for Harris, explained to co-host Will Cain that Harris campaign officials made a series of false promises and repeatedly claimed that the internal data showed the vice president would handily defeat Trump.
“This is just an epic disaster. This is a one-billion-dollar disaster,” Li said, referencing how the losing Harris campaign blew through $1 billion in fundraising and ended up with millions of dollars in debt.
“It’s incredible, and I raised millions of that. I have friends that I have to be accountable to and to explain what happened because I told them it was a margin of error race,” she added.
Li stated that Harris campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon assured all Harris surrogates that the vice president would win, even going so far as to produce videos to reinforce the message. “I believed her. My daughters believed her. And so, they wrote massive checks,” Li told the Fox News co-host. “I feel like a lot of us were misled.”
She also told Cain earlier in the interview that the “backstabbing” between Biden and Harris began long before the vice president replaced him on the 2024 ticket.
