PANews reported on August 16 that according to the Financial Times, Kamala Harris has spent 10 times more on digital advertising than Donald Trump since becoming the Democratic presidential candidate. Since President Joe Biden withdrew from the race on July 21, Harris has spent $57 million on Google and Meta ads, while Trump has spent only $5.6 million. Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, is saving money while relying on traditional media to deliver his message.

The Democratic presidential candidate's digital ad push is part of $139 million the Biden-Harris campaign has spent on tech platforms since the beginning of the year, while Trump and groups supporting his campaign have spent just $22.5 million.
