(The Center Square) – The North Carolina Republican Party is remaining open to joining the legal effort against Vice President Kamala Harris and her presidential campaign.
Since Harris jumped in to fill President Joe Biden’s vacancy, her campaign has received $96 million transferred directly from his campaign. A number of Republican groups came together to file a complaint with the Federal Election Commission.
“We are supportive of the efforts led by David Bossie and others in this matter,” said Matt Mercer, director of communications for the North Carolina GOP. “Throughout the 2024 election cycle, Democrats in North Carolina have repeatedly ignored the wishes of voters and the removal of Joe Biden as their nominee is just the latest example.”
Citizens United, a conservative interest group, says the FEC must immediately review the Harris’ campaign’s “brazen misappropriation of campaign funds.”
“Looking the other way on this violation – just like the mainstream media has done with Joe Biden’s declining health – is precisely the kind of double standard that the American people have grown sick and tired of in recent years,” Citizens United said in a statement.
It was joined by 17 GOP state and territorial parties.
Mercer said the NCGOP is concerned state-level issues, while monitoring the legislation against Harris.
“Currently, we are focused on numerous pending litigation efforts,” he added, “but we aren’t ruling it out should circumstances merit our involvement.”
