The US presidential race is nearly done and dusted with Trump having secured adequate electoral college to be elected as the new president of the United States. Now, the discussion is about the ad campaigns that were run by the two stalwarts.
As per reports, Kamala Harris spent around $1.4 Billion on her US presidential ad campaign which roughly converts to over Rs 11,000 crore. It is evident that she spent a fortune on her ad campaign.
As for Trump, the Republican party sanctioned around $900 Million for the ad campaign and this roughly converts to Rs 7000 crore.
Unlike India, where the electoral verification is largely flawed, the tracking of the electoral costs in the USA is very much on point, so the budgeting mentioned in the media reports could be very accurate.
While the numbers might seem overwhelming to the Indian folk, these are ordinary numbers if we look at the larger scheme of things when the US presidential seat is at stake.
