The failed Harris-Walz campaign is facing some difficult questions about how it spent more than a billion dollars in campaign donations after reportedly ending with $20 million in debt. Many pundits saw the historic donations to the Harris campaign as a sign that the vice president was heading for victory, but President-elect Donald Trump easily won the election while being outspent. According to sources who spoke to Politico California bureau chief Christopher Cadelago, the campaign ended up at least $20 million in debt despite raising and spending more than $1 billion. An email from the campaign claimed that it was still keeping "organizers and volunteers on the ground" in those states "with key Senate and House races still too close to call" and asked for more money from donors. A separate report from Puck News said that the campaign was selling its email list in order to help pay the massive debt. Breitbart News said a campaign staffer confirmed that Harris deputy campaign manager Rob Flaherty was "currently shopping around the Kamala fundraising email list to anyone who wants it to try to raise the money back." That report claims that the campaign blew through the massive pool of cash by paying for lavish campaign events with celebrities and pop singers instead of putting that money into marketing that could have helped Harris win. According to the New York Times, the Harris campaign spent into "six figures" to fly banners over NFL games, while the Guardian reported that the campaign spent $450,000 per day to have ads on the Las Vegas Sphere in Nevada. Trump was declared the winner of the election early Wednesday morning just hours after most polls closed. Like Blaze News?

Podcasts have largely overtaken the mainstream media and television in general as a source of not only America’s entertainment but its news and information. And as the Biden-Harris administration appeared to collaborate with the mainstream media, as well as social media, to censor information, those podcasts became even more important to those Americans who tuned in. Elon Musk is well aware that this played a major role in Donald Trump’s second election. “I think it made a big difference that President Trump and soon to be Vice President Vance went on lengthy podcasts,” Musk told Tucker Carlson in a recent post-election interview. “This really makes a difference, because you know, people look at Joe Rogan’s podcast, which is great, and Lex Fridman’s and the "All-In Podcast," and you know, to a reasonable-minded smart person who’s not hard-core one way or the other, they just listen to someone talk for a few hours and that’s how they decide whether you’re a good person, whether they like you,” he continued. However, not everyone is built for a long-form podcast — which is one reason Kamala might have lost.“Nothing would do more damage to Kamala’s campaign than going on Joe Rogan, because she’d run out of non-sequiturs after about 45 minutes,” Musk told Tucker, laughing. “You can’t hide in three hours,” Tucker agreed. “Yeah, hour two and three would be a complete melted puddle of nonsense, it would just be absolutely game over,” Musk added, noting that the opposite is why Trump did so well. “Trump, on the other hand,” Elon began, “there’s no talking points. He’s just being a normal person. He’s having a conversation.” After Trump secured the popular vote, it’s obvious that most Americans feel the same way — though some Americans are losing their minds over the results. “We all know people that are still brainwashed,” Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” comments after watching the clip of Elon and Tucker. “The reason they are upset is because there has been a system in place that told them that Hitler is about to take over again.” “That is so sad and unfortunate and is going to take mass deprogramming, not so that they can believe everything we believe, but so that they can be deprogrammed from a machine that has taught them all of the wrong things and to hate all of the wrong people,” he adds.

A University of Oregon administrator said, "Go f*** yourself if you voted for Donald Trump," according to a campus newspaper, which included video of the rant in its story.What's more, the school official also is a hazing prevention speaker who reportedly did jail time over a fatal fraternity hazing incident in 2012.The Daily Emerald reported that assistant director of fraternity and sorority life Leonard Serrato posted an Instagram story after this week's presidential election in which Trump handily beat Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.'I'm done crying. My sadness is over. My anger has set in. I am a very petty person, and I am very proud of that. Love it about myself, actually.'The paper said Serrato told his followers on the social media platform — some of whom are Oregon students — "You can literally go f*** yourself if you voted for Donald Trump. If you are so sad about your groceries being expensive, get a better f***ing paying job. Do better in life. Get a f***ing education. Do something, 'cause you’re f***ing stupid."Before he made a sideways peace sign in the clip, the rant ended with him saying, "And I hope you go jump off of a f***ing bridge." You can view video of the rant included in the paper's story here; you can view a photo of Serrato here from the website of the University of Oregon, which is a public college.A longer version of the rant includes the following preface: "I'm done crying. My sadness is over. My anger has set in. I am a very petty person, and I am very proud of that. Love it about myself, actually. And so, I say this in the most disrespectful way possible: I don't care if you are my family. I don't care if you are my friend. I don't care if we've been friends our entire lives."The Daily Emerald reported that Serrato later posted an Instagram Reel in which he discusses the presidential election results. The paper said he addressed students, including those of “color” and who identify as “LGBTQIA," and encouraged them to “take care of yourself and know that you have my support.”The Daily Emerald said Serrato soon made his Instagram account private and declined to comment to the paper.University of Oregon spokesperson Eric Howald told the Daily Emerald the “university is currently collecting more information about the situation" and that for now "it appears that the individual made the post on their own time, which is well within their rights."What else do we know about Serrato?Serrato's LinkedIn profile indicates he's also a hazing prevention speaker. A month ago, Serrato reposted on his LinkedIn page a short item about himself from ForCollegeForLife — and the following excerpt appears to explain why he speaks against hazing:Leo Serrato could have never imagined he’d be delivering this message.Before August 31, 2012, his fraternity membership experience had been typical. That night, however, changed everything. One of the new members of his chapter died in an alcohol-related hazing incident. Due to his involvement, Leo was charged and sentenced to jail time, and, because of this, he made it a personal mission to work to end hazing.He vowed to his brother he would not let his death be in vain.A 2018 profile story in the Sonoma State Star student newspaper about Serrato — who had just become the new lead campus advisor for fraternity and sorority life at Sonoma State — noted that Serrato "was involved in a hazing related death while attending Fresno State in 2012, where one of his pledges died from excessive drinking caused by hazing." The Star added that Serrato pleaded "no contest to a misdemeanor charge of hazing and providing alcohol to a minor causing death in 2014. According to the Press Democrat, he was sentenced to 90 days in the Fresno County Jail, 90 days in the county’s adult offender work program, three years probation, and a $220 fine."Serrato was quoted in the story: “When I was new member educator, one of our new members passed away from a hazing related incident and it was that incident that truly inspired me and opened up my eyes to what my mission and purpose is in life and that is to educated [sic] students on hazing."Howald on Thursday afternoon didn't immediately respond to Blaze News' request for comment asking whether the University of Oregon knew about the charges against him when it hired Serrato.Serrato on Thursday afternoon didn't immediately respond to Blaze News' request for comment, specifically whether he had anything to say in the wake of his reported statements about Trump voters in light of his declared "mission and purpose" in regard to educating others about hazing.Like Blaze News?

Republican challenger Dave McCormick narrowly defeated Democratic incumbent Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania on Thursday. McCormick won the seat with 48.9% of the vote while Casey managed to secure 48.5%, according to Politico. Pennsylvania is the fourth Senate seat Republicans have flipped this election cycle, alongside Montana, West Virginia, and Ohio.Republicans now hold the majority in the Senate with 53 seats while Democrats hold 45 seats. The Nevada and Arizona Senate races have not been called yet. Casey has served as one of Pennsylvania's two senators since he was first elected in 2006, winning his three elections by substantial margins. This time around, McCormick was able to overcome Casey's nearly eight-point lead in August and turn it into a 0.4-point loss in November. These polling numbers sounded the alarm for Casey's campaign in the weeks leading up to the election. Casey refocused his campaign to moderate his policies and distance himself from his party, even running a pro-Trump ad and calling himself an "independent." Like Blaze News?
