        It would be stupid even if you can’t pass the funds. A PAC can still spend that money supporting her, and it resets the individual donation limits.

        The big ticket donors would all get to donate again.

        Stupider than that. She’s a listed candidate on the original filing.

        I worry thought about both how long the Supreme Court can delay and how stupid Trump judges can be.

      Then all those donors get to donate again because the campaign finance limits no longer apply, and Biden can spend that money on Harris’s behalf.

      The legal approach just isn’t going to work out in there favor. If the money doesn’t go to Harris, all of a sudden she gets a do-over with all donors and it can go to a PAC which will spend it on her behalf.
