“If I have to, I will,” Trump told reporters, when asked about his willingness to spend out of his own pocket. “Whatever they ask for, we must win.”
Trump was already campaigning for a second term during his administration, and since the beginning of 2019 his campaign has “spent about $ 800 million, more than double the campaign of his Democratic rival Joe Biden.”
But despite this strong start and describing the campaign itself as “an overwhelming force,” “the Trump campaign was hit by financial failure.”
As for Biden, “who started his campaign with little funding, he surprised many when he beat Trump in collecting donations last August, bringing his total to $ 365 million, breaking records from previous months.”
Despite all of Trump’s huge spending at the beginning, “Biden still leads by a fixed margin in the polls.”
Just eight weeks before the election, “the two candidates will face a ton of bills, with increased travel and voter polarization, in addition to all these expensive TV ads.”
The New York Times, in a report this Monday, addressed the “extravagant” spending of the Trump campaign under the direction of former director Brad Barskill, especially the broadcast of two commercials during the “Super Bowl”, which cost 11 million dollars. .
But Bill Stebian, “who succeeded Barskill in July, made spending cuts his priority.”
Trump said on Twitter that “the material problems of his campaign were caused by the media, because he had to spend on countering misinformation.”
