The presidential race hit its peak this week with candidates cramming more than forty events into seven states (showing how tight the competition has become in key areas)
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz pushed through 27 events across eight states; the vice president managed five swing-state visits in a single day. Meanwhile Donald Trump and JD Vance organized 18 events in nine states showing different campaign approaches
Some non-swing state events caught peoples attention: Harris joined forces with Beyonce in Texas last weekend while Trump made an un-expected trip to New Mexico after his Madison Square Garden rally. Both candidates are finishing their campaigns in the midwest — specifically targeting Wisconsin and Michigan
Since mid-july‚ Harris and Walz held 71 campaign events while Trump and Vance managed 123. The republicans focused heavily on Pennsylvania; which matches their online ad strategy. Georgia got most of Trumps attention as he lost it by just 023% last time
Online advertising shows big differences: Harris spent $100 million (four times more than Trump). Her ads target women aged 25-34 while Trump aims at older voters. Recent polls show Harris leads by 12 points among women
The money race shows interesting patterns: Harris raised $9179 million this year versus Trumps $2583 million. In swing states Harris gets bigger donations ($115 average) while Trump gets more individual contributions ($51 average) except in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin
