Hi Brian,
I was just looking at the election from a slightly different financial view.
How much does it cost to get elected?

According to Forbes:
"The Biden—now Harris—campaign committee has raised $997.2 million and Trump’s campaign committee raised $388 million in total between Jan. 2023 and Oct. 16, 2024, the most recent date for which Federal Election Commission filings are available."

That's only the 2 presidential candidates. I can almost imagine what the totals would be including all the senate, house, local office, and ballot measures being voted on across the US.

Who benefits from all that cash? Where do they spend the bulk of their donations?
I have an opinion on that, but I want to keep this civil
