On August 16, the British "Financial Times" analysis shows that since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race on July 21, Harris has spent $57 million on Google and Meta ads, while Trump only spent $5.60 million. Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, is saving money while relying on traditional media to get his message across. The Democratic presidential candidate's digital advertising campaign is part of the $139 million the Biden-Harris campaign has spent on tech platforms since the start of the year, while Trump and groups supporting his campaign have spent just $22.50 million.
