In the final stages of the presidential race, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump sharply increased spending on advertising and voter outreach.
According to financial reports released Thursday, the two candidates together spent a record half a billion dollars in the past sixteen days, the New York Times reported.

Since the start of the presidential race, Harris and Biden have collected $1.8 billion in funding, while Trump has surpassed the $1 billion mark just these days.
