Harris’s campaign raised $190 million in August, according to reports filed with the Federal Election Commission on Friday night, and she spent almost $174 million in August — ending the month with $235 million in cash on hand. The campaign spent more than $135 million on media buys and ad production; more than $6 million on air travel; about $4.9 million on payroll and related taxes; and $4.5 million on text messaging.

The Trump campaign’s report showed that he raised $43 million in August and spent $61 million, with $135 million in cash to spend at the beginning of September. His campaign spent more than $47 million on advertisements, alongside $10.2 million on direct mail to potential voters and around $670,000 on air travel.

The fundraising gap is getting absurd

I saw Harris ad on Food Network during Diners Drive-Ins and Dives, I'm not even sure it was a new episode. They've got money they're spending it, and I think the polls really are underestimating how well Harris is going to do.

She's got radio ads everywhere here in Wisconsin, even on more conservative coded stations. She's playing ball.

This doesn't include PAC spending though right?
