In 2016, Trump defeated Hillary Clinton despite raising less money than the Democratic candidate.
The Kamala Harris campaign spent nearly three times as much money as her rival Donald Trump did in August, according to campaign finance filings submitted to the Federal Election Commission.
According to Federal Election Commission data, the vice president’s campaign spent $174 million in August, compared to $61 million by the Trump campaign, Reuters reported.
Both Harris and Trump said most of their money in August was spent on ads, with smaller sums paying for rallies, travel and campaign staff salaries. For the Harris campaign, media production and ad buys accounted for $137 million. For the Trump campaign, paid media accounted for $47 million, according to Politico
Harris ended August with $235 million on hand, just over what it had at the beginning of the month, while Trump ended the month with $135 million, down $17 million from the start of the month, according to Reuters.
