According to The Washington Examiner<\/em><\/a>, a source claimed that Harris\u2019 team spent \u201csix figures on building a set for Harris\u2019 appearance on the popular \u2018Call Her Daddy\u2019 podcast with host Alex Cooper<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n The outlet further claimed that Harris\u2019 team paid Oprah Winfrey<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s Harpo Productions $1 million.<\/p>\n A spokesperson for Winfrey\u2019s Harpo Productions denied the report in a statement obtained by Variety<\/em><\/a>, which read, \u201cThe campaign paid for the production costs of \u2018Unite for America,\u2019 a live-streaming event that took place [on] September 19 outside Detroit, Michigan. Oprah Winfrey was at no point during the campaign paid a personal fee, nor did she receive a fee from Harpo.\u201d<\/p>\n Additionally, Oprah was questioned about the reports and claimed she was \u201cpaid nothing \u2014 ever,\u201d calling the rumors \u201cnot true,\u201d according to a video published by TMZ<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n HOLY SMOKES!

Kamala\u2019s campaign wasted $20M to buy the endorsements of celebrities $5M to Megan Thee Stallion $3M to Lizzo $1.8M for Eminem $1M for Oprah Paid 6 figures to appear on the \u2018Call Her Daddy\u2019 podcast,\u201d the account tweeted<\/a> on November 11, 2024.<\/p>\n However, the claim was not verified, and Winfrey debunked the rumor.<\/p>\n It\u2019s unclear if Trump paid any celebrities who endorsed him. Since Winfrey denied being paid by Harris\u2019 campaign, it\u2019s also unlikely that Trump paid anyone as well.<\/p>\n It\u2019s unclear if public figures get paid anything to support a politician. However, social media influencers became involved in recent elections, and they did not have to reveal their earnings to the public. According to CNN<\/a>, content creators are not required \u201cto disclose if they\u2019ve been paid to endorse a candidate or speak about a political issue on their page.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\t<\/div>\n\n
