Columbia, SC - On July 25, 2024, the South Carolina Republican Party joined a complaint to the Federal Election Commission against Kamala Harris and her presidential campaign misappropriating 96 million dollars. The SCGOP is joined by 16 other State Parties, Citizens United and David Bossie.

The complaint focuses around the transfer of campaign funds from Joe Biden to Kamala Harris without the formal nomination process that must occur at the Democrat National Convention. Without garnering the nomination of the DNC, the “Biden for President” campaign committee changed to “Harris for President” on the very day Joe Biden announced he would no longer be seeking reelection in 2024.

SCGOP Chairman Drew McKissick released the following statement on joining the complaint:

“The South Carolina Republican Party hopes that the Federal Election Commission will take urgent action to stop this illegal and unethical transfer of funds. The law is clear: those funds were given to “Biden for President”, not “Harris for President”, or even “Biden-Harris”, and Joe Biden can’t simply give her 96 million dollars. There is no joint bank account with a vice-presidential candidate until after they officially become the nominees of their Party. This was a blatant, illegal money grab, pure and simple,” SCGOP Chairman McKissick stated.

“Though the Democrat Party claims to be the ‘Party of Democracy’, they don’t seem to have a problem ignoring their own primary voters or campaign finance law.”
