Politics · Nov 9, 2024 · BabylonBee.com

With the news that Kamala Harris's campaign somehow ended up $20 million in debt after raising over $1 billion in donations, critics have started to wonder: how on earth did her campaign spend that billion dollars? Our crack investigative team at the Bee has gone to work and can now share a line-by-line breakdown of where all that money went:

  • $70 million for accent coaches: In retrospect, probably shouldn't have used Foghorn Leghorn.

  • $500,000 for Lizzo's catering: That's a lot of hoagies.

  • $70 million for surgery to re-attach Tim Walz's arms every time they flew off: Not bad, honestly.

  • $10 million for NFL coaches to try to teach Walz how to talk about football: Must have been the Jets' coach.

  • $900,000 for Harry Sisson's puberty blockers: Harry goes off those, even that dude might wind up Republican.

  • $0 for valor for Tim Walz: Stolen!

  • $200 million trying to build that shrinking gun from Honey, I Shrunk The Kids so Kamala seems taller: Looking back, platform shoes may have been a wiser investment.

  • $37.50 for speechwriter: Yeah, this checks out.

  • $19 million for filming that gross commercial where an old Republican man tells some kid he can't watch porn: We don't want to talk about it.

  • $ 5 million for Gen Z graphic designers to write "Kamala HQ" in Arial font on a green background: For Gen Z, this was a steal.

  • $5 million for Doritos: Those gas station chips are pricey.

  • $500 for coloring books to keep Joe Biden busy: Honestly, really should have set aside more for this.

  • $600 million on wine: That's on boxed wine, people. Boxed!

  • $30 million for the rights for Tim Walz to sing "Single Ladies" at rallies: Totally worth it.

  • $500,000 on punching bags for Doug Emhoff: Ouch.

Well, it all adds up. Money well spent.
