Lindy Li, a surrogate who raised millions for Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign, spoke out Saturday on Fox News after the Harris campaign “misled” her.
Li told “Fox and Friends Weekend” co-host Will Cain that false hope incentivized her to give large sums of money to what became Harris’s “epic disaster” election loss to Republican President-elect Donald Trump.
“This is just an epic disaster. This is a one-billion-dollar disaster,” Li said, referencing how the losing Harris campaign blew through $1 billion in fundraising and ended up with millions of dollars in debt.
“It’s incredible, and I raised millions of that. I have friends that I have to be accountable to and to explain what happened because I told them it was a margin of error race,” she said.

Li said Harris campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon promised all Harris surrogates the vice president would win, going as far as to put out videos to nail down the message.
“I believed her. My daughters believed her. And so, they wrote massive checks,” Li told the Fox News co-host. “I feel like a lot of us were misled.”
Dillon circulated a memo to campaign staff around 11 p.m. Tuesday, the night of the election, telling them to “get some sleep.”

Li told Cain earlier in the interview that the “backstabbing” between Biden and Harris started way before the vice president replaced him on the 2024 ticket. (RELATED: ‘I Don’t Know How To Handle This’: Harris Supporters Post Videos Of Themselves Weeping After Trump’s Victory)
Democrat donor Lindy Li says Biden-Harris “backstabbing” started before Kamala’s campaign.

“It was a lot of backstabbing we saw in the press; people were leaking stuff all the time. The White House was leaking like a sieve when it came to Kamala Harris,” Li said.
“In the final years she was able to stabilize and stop the bleeding of her staff because there was a lot of turnover as well. And we saw the press report about that. And things have finally started to calm down.”
Li said she believes President Joe Biden’s immediate endorsement of Harris was an expression of anger toward the Democratic Party.

“Kamala Harris wasn’t at the top of the ticket,” Li said. “Biden’s endorsement of Harris caught a lot of people off guard. Even the chief Dems of the party.”
“I really think it was a big fu— a big ‘F you,’ I’m so sorry,” she said to Cain, catching herself before finishing the statement.
