“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 donors in group chats reacted to Harris's donor calls with frustration, feeling they were being lied to about Biden's condition.

“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.”

Li recalled that Harris launched a charm offensive in the first 24 hours after Biden's withdrawal to consolidate support, though Biden initially hesitated to endorse her.

“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, a top fundraiser for both Biden and Harris, said she listened in on donor calls where Harris pretended to support Biden while auditioning for donors' backing.

“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 that Harris told major donors on a July 19, 2024 call that Biden would not drop out and she would stick with him, two days before Biden suspended his campaign.

“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 that Harris was auditioning for Biden's endorsement while still publicly supporting him.
