The 2020 presidential campaign of Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), which is "hemorrhaging cash," is undergoing significant restructuring and laying off "dozens of aides," Politico reports.

Harris' campaign manager Juan Rodriguez in a memo Wednesday described facing "an incredibly competitive resources environment" and needing to "reduce campaign expenditures," reports Vice's Elizabeth Landers. Rodriguez, who said he would be reducing his own salary as well, announced that "many" field staff from New Hampshire, Nevada, and California will be redeployed to Iowa and that "we will reduce the size of our headquarters staff."
