Officials from the Harris campaign have indicated that the declaration of a winner in the presidential race may be delayed for days, with the possibility of legal fallout extending for weeks, regardless of the outcome.
There are concerns within the campaign about potential litigation that could last for a month, as one campaign adviser mentioned. The margin-of-error race is expected to open the door to legal challenges, adding to the groundwork that Republicans have been laying out.
Donors have been informed to anticipate a period of 'four to six weeks where everyone is suing everybody,' according to a senior financier involved in the discussions. The campaign has also hinted at the need to conserve capital or raise more funds to cover substantial legal expenses that may arise.
The Harris campaign has taken proactive measures by stationing attorneys across the country to address challenges related to counts, recounts, and audits. The campaign's outside counsel, Dana Remus, emphasized that these legal actions are considered 'legitimate' and are part of the democratic process.
Remus reassured that the election results are determined by the American people and cannot be overturned. She expressed confidence in the resilience of the country's institutions, including the Supreme Court, to uphold the integrity of the electoral process.
