How idiotic. Donations to the campaign were made to the Biden-Harris campaign, not just to Biden. Biden dropped out so now it's the Harris campaign until she picks a running mate. I hope this gets kicked out as a frivolous complaint.

Although Biden’s heir apparent, Harris is not yet the Democratic presidential nominee. The Trump campaign said that until she is the nominee, contributions made to Biden should not be rolled over to the vice president.

Um, Biden wasn't the nominee yet either.

Yeah, its a nothing burger before it ever started and pod-saved were doofusses for even suggesting this was something to wring hands about, but I guess you gotta get clicks or something.

Even if they this was something to worry about, what would the consequences be?

All the money goes into a PAC and now EVERYONE who was already at their limit for campaign finance can donate AGAIN?

You just doubled Harris's fundraising potential. Pod saved have interesting credentials, but that doesn't mean they know what they are talking about.

I followed that pod for a good while during Trump's years, they made some good points, and also said some ass backwards shit that made me unsub

Yeah I couldn't listen to it very long. I felt like I was in an echo chamber where the prevailing democratic ideas were never questioned
