Ben Kamisar is a national political reporter for NBC News
Outside groups have poured an astounding $1.1 billion into the presidential race with less than two weeks to go before Election Day, an NBC News analysis found, surpassing the record set during the 2020 election. That figure includes spending from super PACs and other groups not directly affiliated with the candidates’ campaigns and party committees over the course of the primary and general election campaigns.
Harris has faced more outside spending aimed at defining her at this point in the race than either former President Donald Trump or Joe Biden faced throughout the entirety of the 2020 contest. It’s also more that both major party nominees faced combined in the 2016 and 2012 presidential races. By comparison, Trump has benefited from $75 million of outside spending supporting him, while facing $124 million in outside spending against him.
