According to Odaily, the American political system operates on substantial financial contributions. On November 1, Bloomberg reported that 11,000 political groups have spent $14.7 billion on the 2024 U.S. election campaign. The report highlights that due to the lack of legal restrictions on funding for presidential and congressional elections, the intense battle between the Democratic and Republican parties has led to voters being inundated with advertisements, text messages, and emails soliciting votes.
The $14.7 billion expenditure primarily covers extensive television advertising, aggressive fundraising appeals, and numerous door-to-door visits conducted by candidates, parties, and political action committees. According to AdImpact, an American advertising tracking company, the 2024 U.S. presidential election is projected to be the most expensive in history.
