NH-01: Karoline Leavitt's Failed Campaign Makes Bleak Debt Admission
Donald Trumps press secretary raised zero money last quarter to shrink the $326,000 in debt her campaign owes after her doomed 2022 bid for the House.
Karoline Leavitt, now 28, was 23 when she launched a New Hampshire run that ended in a humiliating 8-point loss to Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas. She has since stepped into the White House at Trumps side, becoming the youngest press secretary on record.
The bulk of what Karoline for Congress owes, north of $210,000 of the roughly $326,370 shortfall, is money it must return to backers whose donations sailed past federal caps, NOTUS reported Wednesday, citing fresh federal filings released earlier this week.
Election rules dictate that when a campaign takes an over-the-limit check, the committee must not spend the funds. Her committee logged zero cash in its account for the second quarter of this year, leaving no way to write any refunds. Leavitt may legally fundraise to clear the tab but has brought in nothing toward it, the outlet noted.
