前民主党工作人员曝光卡玛拉·哈里斯拉拢捐赠者的企图
林迪·李详述了哈里斯如何在继续向拜登捐赠者承诺拜登能获胜的同时，争取他们的支持。
NEW 您现在可以收听福克斯新闻的文章了！
FOX新闻独家首发： 林迪·李曾是民主党筹款人，因对总统乔·拜登在2024年大选支持率下滑的警告未被重视而脱党，她认为卡玛拉·哈里斯在拜登退选数日前就已着手挖走拜登的捐赠者，同时还告诉选民拜登仍有胜算。
李表示，她当时刻意避免任何对拜登的批评，以此游走于两者之间。
“这完全是一场装腔作势的表演。她当时在争取获得拜登的背书，手段就是给自己的团队定下一条虚假规则，不许谈论她接任总统提名的可能性，”李在接受福克斯新闻数字频道的独家采访时说道。
李在新书《卸下重担》中记录了拜登竞选团队暂停运作前几个月的情况，书中补充了更多细节，表明即便拜登身边最亲近的人也清楚，在他2024年那场灾难性的辩论之后——甚至更早——他的竞选活动很可能就会彻底停摆。

作为曾为拜登和哈里斯两方工作的顶级筹款人，同时也是在民主党全国委员会（DNC）中声名显赫的人物，李曾为两个团队筹集竞选资金。
大选结束后，李公开了大量内部知情消息，警告称民主党内部有多少人早已看清局势却保持沉默。她还详述了哈里斯等人如何迅速为即将发生的情况做准备。
在李看来，哈里斯优先争取的是那些她知道很快就会支持自己参选的捐赠者。
“我当时就在通话现场；她会主持与捐赠者的电话会议，假装支持拜登，声称自己和拜登之间没有任何分歧。但与此同时，她又在向这些捐赠者争取支持，”李说道。

李回忆称，有一次，就在拜登退选两天前，哈里斯还在向捐赠者谈论拜登作为候选人的可行性。
“那是在7月19日或20日。实际上我认为是2024年7月19日；卡玛拉·哈里斯召开了一场电话会议，称拜登绝不可能退选，她会全程支持他。而参会的正是民主党内部一些最重量级的捐赠者，”李回忆道。
拜登于7月21日宣布不再寻求连任。
拜登宣布退选后，李回忆称哈里斯在民主党阵营中迅速采取行动巩固支持，暗示自己已经获得了拜登的某种形式的背书。
“她到处讨好别人。最初的24小时里，她展开了密集的魅力攻势。这也是她能如此迅速地巩固支持的原因。她把所有人都哄得团团转。这让大家都明确感觉到拜登已经背书了她。而拜登最初——不知道大家知不知道——他并不想立刻背书她。这花了他一段时间。”
值得注意的是，尽管拜登当天晚些时候确实背书了哈里斯，但他先是宣布不再寻求连任，随后约30分钟才发布第二条消息，宣布支持哈里斯。
尽管这位副总统一直努力表现出对拜登的支持，并强调他的竞选可行性，但李回忆称，其中一些捐赠者根本不相信她的说辞。

卡玛拉·哈里斯在新回忆录中透露，她拒绝了宣称拜登在2024年与特朗普的灾难性辩论中表现出色的竞选宣传话术。
“我们很多人都有群聊。大家当时的第一反应是，这简直是浪费时间。太像一场闹剧，太假了。这些全国最富有的人都这么说。他们非常清楚自己被欺骗了，拜登明显状态不佳，却有人告诉他一切安好，而他当时显然已经失去行为能力，”李说道。
“这简直是侮辱。”

Ex-Dem insider exposes what Harris told top donors days before Biden dropped out: ‘Insulting’

Lindy Li claims in her new book that Harris held donor calls insisting Biden would stay in the 2024 race while positioning herself as replacement

Former Dem operative exposes Kalama Harris’ attempt to poach donors
Lindi Li recounts how Harris was courting Biden’s donors while still telling them that Biden could win.
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
FIRST ON FOX: Lindy Li, a former Democratic fundraiser who switched party affiliation over unheeded warning signs about President Joe Biden’s decline in the 2024 election, believes Kamala Harris was setting herself up to poach Biden’s donors just days before he dropped out of the race — while still telling voters he could win.
Li said she threaded that political needle by staying far away from any criticism of Biden.
“It was all charade. She was auditioning for Biden’s endorsement, and the way that she did it was by imposing a fake rule on her staff to not talk about her ascending to the nomination,” Li said in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital.
Li’s chronicling of the months leading up to Biden’s suspended campaign, which are included in her book, “Unburdened,” adds more detail about how even those closest to Biden understood that his campaign would likely come to a grinding halt following his disastrous 2024 debate — and even before it.

As a top fundraiser for both Biden and Harris and someone who had achieved a high profile with the Democratic National Committee (DNC), Li worked with both teams to raise campaign contributions.
In the wake of the election, Li has gone public with much of her insider knowledge, raising the alarm over just how many figures inside the Democratic Party had seen the writing on the wall but remained silent. She also detailed how others, like Harris, quickly moved to prepare themselves for what would happen next.
In Li’s view, Harris prioritized face time with donors she knew could soon back her own bid.
“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.

Li recalled how, in one case, Harris addressed donors about Biden’s viability as a candidate two days before Biden bowed out.
“It was either on July 19th or July 20th. Actually, I think it was July 19, 2024; Kamala Harris held a call saying that there was no way that Biden would drop out and that she would stick with him until the end. And these were some of the biggest donors in the party,” Li recalled.
Biden announced that he would no longer pursue reelection on July 21.
After Biden’s announcement, Li recalled that Harris moved aggressively within the Democratic camp to shore up support, insinuating that she had some form of Biden’s backing.
“She was flattering people left and right. The first 24 hours were a very intensive charm offensive on her part. And that’s how she was able to consolidate it so quickly. She flattered people up the wazoo. It made it abundantly clear that Biden had endorsed her. And Biden initially — I don’t know if people know this, but he didn’t want to endorse her right away. It took him a while.”
Notably, although Biden would endorse Harris later that same day, he announced he would not pursue reelection, his support of Harris came as a second message, roughly 30 minutes later.
Despite the vice president’s efforts to maintain her support of Biden and back his viability, Li recalled that some of those same donors didn’t buy her story,

“A lot of us have group chats. And the immediate reaction is what an effing waste of time. What a charade, how fake. Like these are like the wealthiest people in the country saying that. They were very aware they were being lied to, that Biden was clearly not okay and to be told that he was okay when he was clearly incapacitated,” Li said.
“It was insulting.”
