That’s a lot of Keystone cash…
According to a Fox News report, candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have spent a combined $538 million dollars in battleground Pennsylvania.
19 electoral votes are on the line. According to the analysis, Democrats spent more than $294.7 million in Pennsylvania, and Republicans spent $243.6 million.
The figure comes from an analysis published by the Philadelphia Inquirer on Tuesday.
From Fox News:
Both campaigns and their respective allies spent about $185 million – or 52% – more collectively in Pennsylvania than the second most expensive swing state of Michigan, according to AdImpact.
The top presidential candidates and their running mates have visited Pennsylvania 76 times since January, the Inquirer reported, though that jumps to 90 when including the stops President Biden made before he discontinued his re-election bid and endorsed Harris in July.
Most of those visits to Pennsylvania have happened since the beginning of August.
Of Trump’s 25 campaign visits, 18 have been outside of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, as the Republican nominee has focused on Rust Belt towns like Wilkes-Barre and Johnstown.
In recent weeks, his strategy has shifted to the suburbs of Philadelphia in Montgomery County, as he and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, court more undecided voters in areas that can lean blue.
“The blue-collar Trump voter, the union member Trump voter, the person who is concerned about the border Trump voter, the person concerned about his job in fracking, energy or manufacturing,” Trump senior adviser Tim Murtaugh told the Inquirer. “All of those people are Pennsylvania Trump voters.”
