$10.5 billion

The amount that has been spent on campaign ads in the 2024 election cycle, about $1.1 billion less than Americans spent on Halloween, though an increase of $1 billion from four years ago.

Democrats have outspent Republicans, $5 billion to $4.1 billion, from the beginning of the cycle. $1.2 billion has been spent on ads in Pennsylvania alone, marking the first time in U.S. history that a single state has seen more than $1 billion in ads.
