Former President Donald Trump\u2019s campaign spending more than doubled last month as he dropped big money on ads attacking his new opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n<p>But he continues to significantly trail Harris in terms of campaign infrastructure that could help him turn his war chest into votes, according to new filings with the Federal Election Commission. Those reports underscore just how much Harris\u2019 ascendance upended the race, including putting Trump behind once again in terms of campaign cash. With the race reset for the final months, money could take on an ever greater importance as both sides scramble to turn out their respective bases and reach persuadable voters in battleground states.<\/p>\n<p>For much of the spring and summer, Trump\u2019s presidential campaign was comfortably outspent by President Joe Biden. But the massive spending advantage hardly seemed to boost Biden, who was struggling in the polls long before the late June debate that torpedoed his candidacy. And for Trump, it was the best of both worlds: His campaign was conserving cash while maintaining a comfortable lead over his Democratic opponent.<\/p>\n<p>Now that lead is gone, and Trump has also lost the cash advantage he once held over Biden. Boosted by record fundraising, the vice president\u2019s campaign reported nearly $220 million in cash on hand at the end of July, compared to $151 million for Trump. A major question now is how Trump\u2019s operation will scale up its spending in the pivotal final sprint to Election Day.<\/p>\n<p>But his campaign is significantly smaller than it was at this time four years ago by several measures, including total spending and personnel, according to a POLITICO analysis of FEC filings. And Trump has far less campaign infrastructure at his disposal than Harris, who inherited Biden\u2019s massive operation.<\/p>\n<p>Since the start of 2023, Trump\u2019s official campaign committee has spent a total $117 million, compared to $330 million from the Biden-turned-Harris operation over the same period. (That doesn\u2019t include fundraising expenses from joint fundraising committees, or funds directed to other Trump groups for his legal bills.) Trump continued to be massively outspent in July: His campaign reported spending $24.3 million, compared to $80.7 million in spending from the Biden-turned-Harris campaign committee.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/08\/21\/trump-harris-campaign-spending-fec-00175377\">Politico<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/trump-has-far-less-campaign-money-and-infrastructure-than-harris\/\">Trump has far less campaign money and infrastructure than Harris<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[15794,555,3873],"class_list":["post-133196","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-campaign-money","tag-csr-news-en","tag-trump"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133196","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133196"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133196\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133196"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133196"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133196"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
