The Harris campaign outspent Trump's by a significant amount, despite losing the 2024 election.
Despite outspending President-elect Donald Trump by millions of dollars on the campaign trail, Vice President Kamala Harris was unsuccessful in her bid to stop the former president from re-entering the White House.The Harris campaign received significantly more funding than Trump's, outspending the Republican advertising machine by more than 70 percent in the final stretch of the election.According to data from Open Secrets, Harris received almost $400 million from her 20 largest backers.
Harris also received donations from Bloomberg, based in New York, which gave just under $20 million, and Alphabet, the parent company of Google, which donated $6 million.Seven of the largest donors were based in the U.S. capital, likely due to its close proximity to levers of power such as Congress and the White House, as well as the easy access to lawmakers and other officials that Washington, D.C., provides.
