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 in September alone. Trump raised $63 million. Those numbers are both down compared to 2020 when Biden raised $281 million and Trump raised $81 million. 

As far as spending goes, Harris continued to outspend Trump on advertising. About $222 million of the $270 million 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 his campaign spent in September.

The public will get an even better financial picture of both campaigns when they submit their earnings for the first half of October on Thursday, Oct. 24.
