Harris surpasses Trump with $1.6 billion campaign fundraising high

[Karah]

DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE KAMALA HARRIS SURPASSED DONALD TRUMP IN FUNDRAISING – AFTER PULLING IN 1-POINT-6 *BILLION* DOLLARS.

THAT’S COMPARED TO 700 MILLION DOLLARS FOR TRUMP OVER THE COURSE OF HIS CAMPAIGN. 

HERE’S A BREAKDOWN OF THE NUMBERS …

HARRIS RAISED 928 MILLION FOR HER OFFICIAL CAMPAIGN..

364 MILLION FOR THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE AND ANOTHER 307 MILLION FOR A JOINT FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE.

THE TOTAL INCLUDES FUNDS RAISED WHEN PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN WAS THE PARTY’S CANDIDATE, WHICH IS A RECORD NUMBER FOR A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. 

TRUMP RAISED 375 MILLION FOR HIS CAMPAIGN..

281 MILLION FOR THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE …

AND 145 MILLION FOR TWO JOINT FUNDRAISING COMMITTEES. 

HARRIS PULLED IN 222 MILLION DOLLARS IN SEPTEMBER ALONE.

TRUMP RAISED 63 MILLION DOLLARS. 

THOSE NUMBERS ARE BOTH DOWN COMPARED TO 20-20 WHEN BIDEN RAISED 281 MILLION AND TRUMP RAISED 81 MILLION. 

AS FAR AS SPENDING GOES – HARRIS CONTINUES TO OUTSPEND TRUMP ON ADVERTISING.

ABOUT 222 MILLION OF THE 270 MILLION DOLLARS THAT HARRIS’ CAMPAIGN SPENT IN SEPTEMBER WAS ON MEDIA BUYS AND PRODUCTION COSTS.

TRUMP SPENT ABOUT 53 MILLION ON MEDIA COSTS OUT OF THE 78 MILLION DOLLARS HIS CAMPAIGN SPENT LAST MONTH. 

WE’LL GET AN EVEN BETTER FINANCIAL PICTURE OF BOTH CAMPAIGNS WHEN THEY SUBMIT THEIR EARNINGS AND SPENDING FOR THE FIRST HALF OF OCTOBER ON OCTOBER 24. 

FOR SAN, I’M … KARAH RUCKER.
