Top outside groups flexed their influence on the 2024 campaign this week, disclosing tens of millions of dollars in new spending targeting the presidential race.
America PAC, a super PAC that tech billionaire Elon Musk helped form over the summer to support former President Donald Trump, reported a total of $18.2 million in new spending.
The super PAC has taken a leading role in supporting Trump’s field operations, an area where his campaign has been outspent by Kamala Harris’ team. America PAC reported $7.8 million in new spending this week, coming as the group began offering organizers $47 for voter contacts.
With its latest round of independent expenditures, America PAC has now reported spending $95.8 million on the presidential race, including $56.9 million on canvassing and field operations — emerging as one of the top outside groups supporting Trump.
On the Democratic side, FF PAC, the leading super PAC supporting Harris, reported $50.8 million in new ad buys this week, bringing its total spending for the year up to more than $242 million. In contrast to the network of super PACs supporting Trump, FF PAC has taken a singular role as the lead outside group supporting Harris.
