Final Tally: 'Not Projected $11 Billion, but a Record $14.4 Billion'
Political spending in the 2020 U.S.election totaled $14.4 billion, more than doubling the total cost of the record-breaking 2016 presidential election cycle.
That’s according to OpenSecrets’ analysis of Federal Election Commission filings...
The presidential election drew a record $5.7 billion, congressional races saw a stunning $8.7 billion in total spending.
Nine of the 10 most expensive Senate races ever occurred in the 2020 cycle. Five of the 10 most expensive House races happened in 2020. The rise in congressional spending started in the 2018 cycle, which smashed midterm spending records. All of the 10 most expensive House and Senate contests took place in one of the last two election cycles.
