They Begged Dems for Money—Then Spent Lavishly on Hotels and Entertainment

Democratic Victory told prospective donors it was struggling to raise cash at the same time it spent heavily on luxury hotels and Formula 1 racing.

Democratic Victory is part of a constellation of generic-sounding PACs secretly run by a group of Democratic operatives and infamous within digital-fundraising circles for their unscrupulous methods.

Party officials have accused the groups of trying to take advantage of the groundswell of support for Kamala Harris .

Democratic Victory, like the other PACs associated with Morgan (Democratic Power , Democratic Congress , and Democrats United ) operates opaquely.

The group has virtually no online presence and practically no transparency about who runs it.

It also routinely sends fundraising solicitations that promise to provide 700 percent matches for donations—which, experts say is likely not real.
