Kamala Harris Claims To Have A ‘Mole’ At Fox News
Kamala Harris, in one of her most revealing interviews since her failed 2024 presidential run, made a stunning claim: she says she had a friend inside the Fox News “war room” feeding her campaign team critical data on election night. The admission came as Harris reflected on the painful hours that sealed her defeat against President Donald Trump.
Speaking candidly on ‘The View,’ Harris described a chaotic evening filled with whispers of bad news from Pennsylvania, emotional turmoil at home, and a husband praying in the shower that the outcome would not be catastrophic. According to Harris, her campaign’s sense of optimism quickly collided with inside information.
“But on his way back from a rally where there was an incredible amount of enthusiasm, people on the ground were like, we got it, we got it, we’re going to do this,” Harris said. “And then they talked with a mutual friend of ours who was over at Fox News in the war room, who had been hearing about data that suggested things were not looking great in Pennsylvania.”
In other words, Harris claims her team was in direct communication with someone embedded at Fox News who was leaking real-time information as the results came in. While Harris framed the story as part of her personal recollection, the remark raises serious questions about media ethics, campaign coordination, and whether the flow of data out of Fox’s decision desk violated the network’s standards.
Fox News has not yet commented on Harris’s claim.

“That night, I grieved in a way that I have not since my mother died,” she would tell the hosts. Her remarks underline how crushing the loss was for her family. She recalled that her husband, Doug Emhoff, shielded her from the bad news at first, retreating upstairs to pray that the projections coming from Pennsylvania were wrong.
It wasn’t just Harris herself. She said supporters still approach her in tears, nearly a year later, unable to process how quickly the campaign’s momentum evaporated once the results began rolling in.
Harris also revisited one of her lowest moments of the campaign — her infamous October 2024 appearance on The View. Asked what she would have done differently than President Biden, Harris replied: “There is not a thing that comes to mind.”
Critics seized on that line, saying it confirmed what many voters already suspected: that Harris was running as a continuation of Biden’s campaign rather than her own, with distinct ideas. In this week’s interview, Harris downplayed the moment but admitted it was “symbolic of the issue.”
“I am a loyal person, and I didn’t fully appreciate how much people wanted to know there was a difference between me and President Biden,” she said.
Still, Harris rejected the suggestion that the viral answer tipped the election, arguing instead that rising prices and the economy were the deciding factors. “The American people were sick of things being so expensive,” she said.
Throughout the interview, Harris repeatedly pointed to inflation and high costs as the issue that doomed her candidacy. Voters, she said, were exhausted by the economic strain and gave Trump another chance to make good on his promise to bring costs down.
Her argument reflected a recognition that her campaign never found a way to blunt Trump’s messaging on the economy. “We just didn’t have enough time,” she insisted.
Harris also admitted that her close alliance with Biden hurt her. While she reaffirmed her personal loyalty, she acknowledged that voters wanted a clearer break from the past. “I underestimated how visible those differences needed to be,” she said.
The optics of her failed run, Harris suggested, were worsened by the way media moments were handled. She expressed frustration that even during her recent interview, ABC cut away to cover President Trump’s UN address — a reminder, she said, that controlling the narrative was always a challenge.
If true, it would mean the Democratic nominee for president was benefiting from internal leaks inside the nation’s most-watched cable news network on election night.
