STUART VARNEY: The Kamala Harris campaign has just given a lesson in how to spend an enormous amount of money and lose an election.

Call it $100 million a week. Where did all that money go? Here’s a partial list.

$2.5 million went to online influencers. Another $2.5 million for a Harris event with Oprah Winfrey. $50 million for the campaign’s door knocking operation.

New York Post political reporter Jon Levine reacts to Bernie Sanders claim that working-class people are leaving the Democratic Party on The Big Money Show.
$900,000 for ads on the Las Vegas sphere. $70 million on mail ads.
It’s a very long list. It has to be when you are throwing around $100 million a week.

It’s just like the Inflation Reduction Act. Democratic lawmakers were given over a trillion dollars.
