Final spurt in the election campaign
Harris invests three times more than Trump
In the final weeks before the US presidential election on November 5, Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris is pumping significantly more money into her campaign than her Republican challenger Donald Trump.
Last month, Harris spent around 270 million dollars (248.92 million euros) primarily on television advertising, according to financial reports published on Sunday. Trump spent around 78 million dollars in the same period.
Donors were generous to Harris in September
In September, Harris raised 222 million dollars, more than three times as much as Trump with 63 million dollars. However, the Republican continues to receive significant support from wealthy donors such as Elon Musk through multi-million dollar donations to so-called super PACs. These focused much of their spending on Trump campaign ads.
Head-to-head race in swing states
Harris' campaign started October with 187 million dollars in the bank, while Trump's campaign had 120 million dollars. Despite this financial advantage, current polls suggest a neck-and-neck race, particularly in the swing states that are crucial to the election. However, a larger budget is no guarantee of victory: in the 2016 presidential election, Trump defeated Hillary Clinton despite raising less money than the Democrat.
