US Elections 2024: During the presidential elections in America, the battle between advertising and donations seemed more intense than ever before. During this time, Vice President Kamala Harris’s face was shown on the giant Las Vegas sphere, earning $ 450,000 per day for the most expensive political advertisement in history. The move is just a small part of the nearly $1 billion war chest Kamala Harris has built since she stepped into the Democratic spotlight this election season. On the one hand, Democrats are taking advantage of the power of ActBlue to raise funds, which has raised more than $113 million in donations. At the same time, the Republican Party counter-attacked the fund racing engine Winred.
According to ‘Bloomberg’, before the US presidential election, electoral candidates, political groups and PACs have so far spent a total of $ 14.7 billion, which is about 92 percent of the amount spent in this election. According to the Federal Election Committee, more than 11,000 political groups, from big business names like Elon Musk to small names, have donated during the 2024 elections. At the same time, more than $100,000 was spent. The outlet reported that both political parties raised more than $113 million in donations and distributed a combined $4.5 billion to campaigns and committees.
Who donated to Trump and Harris?
Both the candidates in the election race for the US President, Donald Trump of the Republican Party and Kamala Harris of the Democratic Party, are trying hard. On one hand, maximum donations to Republican candidate Donald Trump are coming from his rich supporters. Three names are prominent in this. The first names include the names of billionaire Elon Musk, Miriam Edenson and an investor Timothy Mellon. At the same time, Vice President Kamala Harris’s position in the race for donations is much better. Along with wealthy supporters, regular donors have also donated to Kamala Harris. Harris’s campaign has attempted to spend $875 million compared to Trump’s $355 million.
