In a candid and surprising revelation, Joyce DeCerce, Compliance Manager for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Kamala Harris' campaign, expressed doubt about Harris's prospects in the upcoming election. DeCerce, who identifies as he/him, shared his concerns in an interview, stating bluntly, “I don’t think Kamala Harris would win this year.” He elaborated on this sentiment by noting Harris’s perceived lack of accomplishments, saying, “She doesn’t have any accomplishments to speak of,” and pointing out her unexpected unpopularity among voters, adding, “She's weirdly unpopular."
DeCerce's role within the DNC, which he describes as an intersection of accounting and legal functions, appears to give him a unique perspective on the inner workings of the organization. He portrays the DNC’s interactions with donors as a calculated performance, aimed more at appeasing donors than at straightforward political engagement. “You just put on a performance for them, a little show, right?” DeCerce said, suggesting that the DNC often indulges in telling donors what they want to hear, rather than what is realistic. He further emphasized that the DNC's strategy often involves making empty promises to maintain donor support, stating, “They want their fantasy to be, you know, fed.”
The implications of these statements are significant, casting a critical light on the DNC's internal strategies and potentially affecting donor relations and public perception. When contacted for comment, Kristin Hetherington, the CFO of the DNC, reacted with visible frustration. She ended the call abruptly when asked about the DNC’s practice of telling donors "what they want to hear" and catering to their "fantasies."
The situation took a darker turn when the undercover journalist who recorded DeCerce received a threatening postcard at her home. The message, laced with racial undertones, appeared to be an attempt to intimidate her and prevent the story from coming to light. This development raises concerns about the extent to which powerful entities may go to silence critics or control narratives.
These revelations come at a critical juncture for the DNC, as they navigate the complexities of fundraising and public relations in a contentious political climate. The comments from DeCerce may spark further scrutiny of the DNC's internal dynamics and their approach to donor engagement, as well as discussions about Kamala Harris’s role and future in the party.
