Clinton vs. Trump, Dollar by Dollar

In the last frenzied days before the election, the campaigns spent at prodigious rates fighting for every vote and making their final pitches to the American people. The fundraising continued as well—even after the election.

Spending Breakdown

In the final weeks of the race, the campaigns burned through their stockpiles of cash. Trump increased his spending on television and cable ads, but his digital strategy may have been decisive. A Trump campaign official said they targeted specific groups of Clinton backers with negative ads on social media to lower Democratic turnout.

While Trump was the biggest single donor to his own cause, his small donor fundraising operation was his biggest source of campaign cash. Clinton had an aggressive small-dollar donor operation as well, but her biggest source was larger donations, many of which came via the networks of her hundreds of bundlers.

Party Money
