The Biden administration staffer behind the pro-Kamala Harris propaganda account “Kamala’s Wins” likely violated federal law, according to an ethics complaint filed by a watchdog group that centers around an October Daily Wire investigation.
The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT) on Wednesday filed a complaint against Ethan Wolf, a “communications specialist” in the U.S. Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration. FACT alleges that Wolf “violated the Hatch Act by running the political X account ‘Kamala’s Wins’ while on duty as a federal government employee.”
The Hatch Act bars federal employees from engaging in political activity while on duty or in a federal building.
The complaint, which cites The Daily Wire’s October exposé of Wolf and “Kamala’s Wins,” calls on “the Office of Special Counsel to act immediately” and look into Wolf’s apparent violations.

“This is a straightforward case,” FACT Executive Director Kendra Arnold wrote in the complaint, adding that “given the prominence of Wolf’s political account, his political activity could easily be seen as coercive and hostile to other employees.”
Wolf first launched his viral account as “Biden’s Wins” in January 2022. At the time, Wolf — a recent college graduate — was working as deputy political director for Illinois Democrat Brad Schneider’s reelection campaign.
“Biden’s Wins” quickly became “a favorite of White House staffers” such as Ron Klain, POLITICO reported in July 2022.
In September 2022, Wolf was invited to the White House “for a private briefing” with Biden, Harris, and Klain. A month later, he returned to the White House for another meeting, where he posed for photos with top White House officials and Doug Emhoff.
Around a year after launching “Biden’s Wins,” Wolf landed his $94,000 a year job in the Commerce Department. In July 2024, after Biden withdrew from the presidential ticket, the account was rebranded as “Kamala’s Wins.”
The account, which has since been rebranded again as “Democratic Wins Media,” has nearly 738,000 followers as of this writing. The account has been a frequent source of misinformation, falsely claiming that a number of NFL quarterbacks were part of a “White Dudes for Harris” fundraising call. It has also parroted false claims about former President Donald Trump’s involvement with Project 2025 and his 2017 remarks in Charlottesville, Virginia.
The account also misconstrued facts about Biden and Harris’s record, claiming their administration’s policies caused inflation and grocery prices to plummet, and led to a reduction in violent crime.
Wolf also repeatedly shared political content from his personal X account during work hours, The Daily Wire reported. Wolf insisted in February 2024 that Biden was mentally competent, just five months before a series of embarrassing mental gaffes forced Biden to suspend his presidential campaign.
The ethics complaint was first reported by the Free Beacon.
