Digital Advertising Strategies in Political Campaigns

Kamala Harris has significantly outspent Donald Trump in digital advertising, with recent data showing her spending reaching $12 million compared to Trump's $600,000 in the weeks surrounding a debate. This financial advantage can be attributed to Harris's successful fundraising efforts, raising twice as much as Trump in the previous months after launching her campaign. Furthermore, Harris's focused strategy on social media aims to engage younger and undecided voters, while Trump has expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of digital ads, preferring traditional television advertising instead. This disparity in campaigning methods raises concerns among Republicans about the effectiveness of their digital outreach and the potential of losing ground to Democratic candidates in the current political landscape.
