“They are at about $16,000 of a $25,000 goal,” Doocy noted on Fox & Friends. “It doesn’t seem like there’s much of an appetite for people to open their wallets.”
The union’s statement was scathing: “We are heartbroken to see our colleagues — who dedicated countless hours to electing Democrats up and down the ballot — depart under these circumstances, and we are furious with DNC leadership with failing to provide severance for those affected.”
Amid this chaos, prominent Democratic figures are making desperate attempts to clean up the mess. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has been tasked with appealing to high-profile donors to bail out the party. In a speech to top Democratic contributors, Walz reportedly urged them to help cover overspending, a situation many see as emblematic of poor decision-making by party leaders.

“Tim Walz is going to hit up wealthy Democratic donors to ask for some money to help [with] repaying all of the vendors that they still owe and staff members they stopped paying months before they were supposed to,” Doocy reported.
While Walz’s remarks have not yet been fully disclosed, speculation is rife about whether he will accept responsibility for what many view as an election-season debacle.
The financial quagmire isn’t confined to the DNC. Vice President Kamala Harris’s ill-fated campaign has also drawn criticism for reckless spending during her short-lived presidential run. The campaign burned through a staggering $1 billion in just 107 days, with significant sums going to high-priced consultants, smartphone apps, and celebrities.
According to the Washington Examiner, event expenses totaled over $15 million, with stars like Oprah Winfrey and Lady Gaga receiving hefty payouts. Winfrey’s production company, for instance, was reportedly paid $1 million for a town hall appearance with Harris in Philadelphia shortly before the election.

This profligate spending, combined with underwhelming results, has left a bitter taste among Democratic donors and supporters.
The DNC’s GoFundMe initiative represents a low point for a party that once touted itself as the champion of working Americans. Critics argue that the situation highlights a disconnect between the DNC’s leadership and the grassroots donors who helped fund its operations.
For many, the message is clear: if the DNC cannot manage its own finances, how can it be trusted to steward the country’s? With staff layoffs, growing debt, and waning donor confidence, the road to recovery looks increasingly steep for the embattled organization.
