After criticism, the Harris group of $ 900 million attempted to set a future
Since Vice President Kamala Harris lost the elections in November, the large group of funds that raised more than 900 million dollars to support it, but eventually failed in her efforts, kept low-level-even when Mrs. Harris’s advisers guessed her approach per second.
But a closed conference this week hosted by Super Pac, the future striker, at the luxury Seaside Hotel in California, explained that the group is not planning to fade.
The future striker attracted some of the biggest names in democratic policy to the Ritz-Carlton Resort in Half Moon Bay, California, south of San Francisco, to house donors as I thought was wrong last year-which could come after that.
Among the attendees were the potential candidates in the presidential future, such as the governor of the state, Gavin New Roosom of California, the governments Andy Peshir from Kentucky, and Democratic donors from seven numbers, and some were asking why the future striker was unable to help Mrs. Harris win.
At Thursday’s event with Four Harrovis, such as the short lunning lobster, Tustones, and dinner, and a dinner that includes Carxio inherited tomatoes, slow, decreased, red sea dress, and Chauncey Mclean, the group leader, who has been clarified to criticism of what was called “the group’s reputation”-depends on the economy and the test.
“These are all great ways to say that we are listening to voters and trying to measure whether any of the things we do already do,” said Mr. McLean, according to a person in the room. The group refused to comment.
Mr. McLean stands in the Observatory’s Ritz Carlton room, tried to calm water and send a message that the future wants to remain part of the Democratic Party, despite criticism.
Among the other speakers of this event are Mr. Newsom and Mr. Beshear, as well as Rahm Emanuel, the former mayor of Chicago, and the Senator Amy Klopochar of Minnesota, according to a copy of the agenda reviewed by the New York Times. They were interviewed by future attackers, such as opinion polls David Shore and former Biden Advisor Anita Den, and Kara Swecher, a former New York Times.
The guests included about 40 donors who funded nearly $ 250 million of Future Foreward in the 2024 election session, the group told the guests at the conference, according to a person attended.
Among them was Megadonors Jeff Lawson, the founder of TWILIO Technology, Andrew Hobman, who each provided one million dollars to Super Pac for the last session, as well as Shannon Hunt-Sakut, who gave $ 450,000. Also in the attendance, there were assistants to many of the most influential billionaires in the party, such as Dustin Moskovitz, the founder of Facebook.
The sessions included showing a live concentration group of youth in what was in the most difficult province of Congress in 2024, in California, the thirteenth; Insulting from the CEO of the Democratic Conservative Society; The closing session on Friday includes three democratic members in Congress.
“The best way to stop Donald Trump at the federal level is to win the control of the House of Representatives in 2026,” read the agenda. Several Future Forwards highlighted the Democrats who won in the conservative states, such as the governor of the state, Laura Kelly, from Kansas.
The mere presence of the conference, especially for a group known for its appreciation, is the fragrance of democratic donors and their advisors in recent months. Some have already said that they were partially attending the Future Forward event out of curiosity about how to defend the group last year.
Mrs. Harris team shared some veiled criticism of the future striker, including in Interview on Podcast “POD Save America” Only after the election day. Sincerity, some Democrats were less friendly, saying that the future striker had broadcast late in the session and should have focused more clearly on the transformation of black and Latin voters to Mrs. Harris.
On Friday, attacked counselors defended their approach to guests who included Minion Moore, a long -term democratic action and Harris Convidante. They have made it clear that 96.3 percent of Super Pac spending was on the advertisement, unlike the unrealistic general costs, and that the non -profit gave $ 220 million to 73 progressive groups, according to two people in the room when the information was provided. Advisors also reviewed any of the group’s ads that did not do, based on the data they collected.
Looking at the defeat of Mrs. Harris, it was not clear to the good competence Democrats that the future striker had a path forward. The group was established during the 2018 elections, and its leaders did not expect at the beginning that it would become a long -term part of the Democratic Corporation, although President Joseph R. Biden Junior eventually made it the basic external group that supports an attempt to re -election.
In recent months, the future striker has had special talks with donors to discuss what happened in 2024 and to express the group’s desire to stay active in politics, according to two people with knowledge of conversations.
The group said that since its foundation, it raised $ 1.4 billion, but it remains to see whether it will be the leading group of a 2028 presidential candidate.
