Harris paid Oprah $1 million in failed bid to help campaign: report

The Harris campaign paid $1 million to Winfrey's company on October 15, according to a report in the Washington Examiner, coming after a star-studded town hall that Winfrey hosted for the vice president in September.

"We're voting for values and integrity," Winfrey said at the rally. "We're voting for healing over hate."

But Winfrey wasn't the only star the Harris campaign spent big money on, with the Washington Examiner report also revealing that the campaign spent big on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast. 

"A source familiar with the matter told the Washington Examiner that the Harris campaign spent six figures on building a set for Harris's appearance on the popular Call Her Daddy podcast with host Alex Cooper," the Examiner wrote. "The interview came out in October and was reportedly filmed in a hotel room in Washington, D.C."

The campaign also spent up to $20 million on swing state concerns on the eve of the election, according to a report in the New York Post, a sum that could have been more if a planned performance by Alanis Morissette had not been scrapped.

"Money can't buy you love or a good candidate," Republican political strategist Brad Todd told the Examiner, with regard to the massive spending.

"Advertising is a pretty important source of information for swing voters," Todd said. "It no doubt matters, but it's not enough. It doesn't matter if you have the wrong message and it's not delivered in a compelling way. What her campaign was missing was any effort to break with the unpopular administration she has been a part of."

The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.
