Democratic National Committee National Finance Committee member Lindy Li blasted the Kamala Harris campaign this week for two tone-deaf calls to donors and supporters.
Li said the calls were “self-congratulatory” without any post-mortem on why the campaign spent two billion dollars and lost 7 swing states.
“She actually held two calls, one for her top donors and one for grassroots. I was speaking and texting with fellow attendees in the call, and we were amazed by how self-congratulatory the tone was …. The call was about 20, 30 minutes,” Li said. “I don’t recall anyone taking responsibility for the fact that we spent about $2 billion across the super PAC and the campaign and came up so significantly short. We lost seven swing states.”
“They praise Harris as a visionary leader. I believe at one moment during the call, she was talking about her Thanksgiving recipe. And I don’t say this with any malice or anything. I’m just merely conveying what happened. I think I was stunned to hear that, given just the extent and brutality of the loss and the fact that DNC staffers — at least two-thirds — have been fired summarily,” she added. “And a lot of them are at a loss as to what to do. I’m just, frankly, stunned that there was no sort of post-mortem or an analysis of how we can do better, what sort of lessons were learned. It was really just patting each other on the back, congratulating each other on I’m not sure what. And saying, ‘We’ll see you for Christmas.’”

Earlier this month, Li called the Harris campaign an “epic disaster.”
“The truth is this is just an end epic disaster. This is a $1 billion disaster,” Li said, adding, “They’re $20 million or $18 million in debt. It’s incredible, and I raised millions of that. I have friends I have to be accountable to and explain what happened because I told them it was a margin-of-error race.”
