Sep 21, 2024, 10:40 AM

Kamala Harris has significantly outspent Donald Trump in the race for the 2024 U.S. Presidential election. Financial disclosures reveal that Harris's campaign raised over $189 million in August, more than quadrupling Trump's $44 million. This financial advantage has allowed Harris to dominate online advertising, outspending Trump by 20 to 1 on platforms like Facebook and Instagram during the week of their debate. Harris's campaign has nearly $404 million in cash on hand, compared to Trump's $295 million. Harris's campaign spent nearly three times as much as Trump in August, outspending him by tens of millions. Despite this, Harris's advisers are urging continued donations as Trump-aligned super PACs remain a significant factor as the race enters its final weeks.
