Harris is running a much bigger campaign than Trump. -- Will it matter? With a month to go, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris remain nearly tied in battleground polls. 
The similarities end there. 
Harris is running a campaign about three times the size of Trump’s operation, according to recent spending reports. She has placed $263 million in ads between the end of the Democratic convention and Oct. 4, nearly 2½ times as much as the $109 million spent by Trump, according to AdImpact. 
She boasts more staff, more volunteers, a larger surrogate operation, more digital advertising, a more sophisticated smartphone-based organizing program and extra money for extraneous bells and whistles typically reserved for corporate product launches and professional sports championships. A Harris drone light show recently flew over Philadelphia. Her rally attendees often get light-up pop-concert bracelets. There are even plans in the works for a late October infomercial to air on swing-state broadcast networks https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/10/05/harris-trump-campaign-spending/
