WASHINGTON D.C. (WSAU) – One of the Democratic National Committee’s top unions is asking for public support after a large portion of their staff was laid off without notice.
According to a press release from the DNC union obtained by the Post Millennial, the “Support the DNC Staff Union Layoff Relief Fund” has raised over $17,000 on 136 donations as of Tuesday morning, and the page states that, “Last week, 2/3 of DNC staff was laid off with little notice and no severance. We are heartbroken to see our colleagues—who dedicated countless hours to electing Democrats up and down the ballot—depart under these circumstances, and we are furious with DNC leadership for failing to provide severance to those affected.”
“These cuts go far beyond typical campaign turnover and impact employees who were previously told their positions would be retained after the election. Chair Jaime Harrison and Executive Director Sam Cornale refuse to address their staff face-to-face and have offered no explanation for how these cuts were decided,” the release continues.
According to AdImpact, Democrats, including the official Harris campaign, spent $1.1 billion on airing advertisements and related reservations and The New York Times reported in October that the Harris campaign attempted to target male voters in swing states by spending “six figures” to fly banners over four NFL games in October. In November, The Guardian revealed that her campaign also paid “a reported $450,000 a day” to have advertisements shown on the Las Vegas Sphere in Nevada. In total, the DNC ended the 2024 election cycle with over $20 million in debt.
