Kamala's Ace In The Hole? $91 Million Biden-Harris Campaign Fund Looms Large

 Little attention has been paid to what might be Kamala's greatest asset: her name on the $91.2 million Biden-Harris campaign account.

According to NBC News, the question of what would happen to the Biden-Harris war chest surfaced on a tense Sunday conference call hosted by the Biden campaign with an audience that included some 40 top Biden donors.

While denying Biden might drop out, campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez's answer was that most of the money would fall into Harris's control.

There's a catch: Many campaign finance experts say that's only true if Harris becomes the Democratic presidential nominee.

What if Harris doesn't take any slot on the final Democratic ticket? If Harris did not become the nominee...the Campaign Legal Center's campaign finance team noted that Biden's campaign money could be converted into a political action committee.

The Biden campaign could also refund donors' contributions, who could in turn donate to a new candidate.

More to the point, a February New York Times/Siena College poll that, in a head-to-head contest with Trump, Harris trailed the former president by 6 points - two points worse than Biden at the time.
