A former Democratic National Committee fundraiser has claimed that Kamala Harris was positioning herself to replace then-President Joe Biden while publicly maintaining her support for his reelection campaign, Breaking Celebrity News can report.
Biden ultimately ended his bid for reelection on July 21, 2024, after weeks of pressure from Democratic lawmakers, donors, and other prominent figures.

A former Democratic fundraiser claimed Kamala Harris was positioning herself to replace Joe Biden.
As Radar previously reported, actor George Clooney had publicly called for Biden to step aside. Then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi also said that Biden had to decide whether to continue his campaign.
Lindy Li, a former DNC fundraiser who later left the Democratic Party, claimed that she observed Harris allegedly cultivating donors as she prepared for the possibility that Biden would leave the race.

Kamala Harris replaced Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee in the 2024 election.
According to Fox News Digital, Li said Harris maintained that she supported Biden while positioning herself with the same donors who could potentially support her if he withdrew.
“I was on the call; she would host calls with donors and pretend to support Biden and say there’s no daylight between Biden and herself. All the while she was auditioning for those very donors,” Li said, according to the outlet.
She has since become a critic of the Democratic Party and shifted her political affiliation toward the Republican Party.
Li described her political shift as a response to what she says she witnessed inside the Democratic Party, including the handling of Biden’s 2024 campaign and Harris’ presidential bid.
