Money Balks

The Democrats blew their wad:
All in all, the 2024 presidential race was the most expensive in American history, surpassing both the 2020 and the 2012 elections. In the latter contest, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney raised over $1 billion. While on paper the Harris campaign’s spending looks comparable to what Democrats have raised in recent presidential contests, the very short time frame in which it was raised and spent is telling. The high burn rate of campaign dollars only to face a resounding electoral defeat in both the popular vote and the Electoral College suggests voters were, by and large, turned off by both the party’s candidate and its message.
So much money, so little return...
