Harris Campaign Spent Over $1 Billion in Historic 107-Day Presidential Run

Despite record-breaking fundraising, Harris lost to Donald Trump in a tight race, with Democrats now reassessing their messaging and financial strategies.

  • Kamala Harris' campaign raised over $1 billion in just 107 days, the highest fundraising figure for a presidential campaign, but ended with $1.8 million in cash and no debt.
  • Donald Trump defeated Harris in the 2024 presidential election, securing 312 electoral votes and narrowly winning the popular vote by approximately 2.28 million votes.
  • Harris spent significantly on media buys, celebrity-driven events, and outreach to key voting blocs, but failed to secure victories in any of the seven critical swing states.
  • Elon Musk emerged as a major financial backer for Trump, donating over $277 million to pro-Trump super PACs, which played a key role in his campaign's ground operations.
  • Democrats are grappling with the aftermath of the loss, including internal scrutiny over campaign spending and broader concerns about the party's messaging and voter outreach strategies.
