According to a new report from the Associated Press (AP), the campaign of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is drastically outspending that of his likely Democratic opponent Kamala Harris days after she became her party’s presumptive nominee.
On Wednesday night, AP reported that “Trump and his allies are outspending Harris’ team 25-to-1 on television and radio advertising.”
“The fight to define Harris is on,” stated AP’s headline. “And for now, Republicans are dominating Democrats on the airwaves.”
AP noted that per its own analysis, political ad revenue totaled “more than $68 million for Republicans compared to just $2.6 million for Democrats — in the period that began on Monday, the day after Biden stepped aside, through the end of August.”
