OpenSecrets has been pouring over the final campaign reports from the 2024 election cycle. Outside groups involved in the presidential election raised record sums in what turned out to be an extremely close election, as measured by the popular vote.
By the numbers
In 2024, outside groups focused on the presidential election raised a combined $2.25 billion. Groups supporting Donald Trump led the way, bringing in $989 million, followed by those backing Kamala Harris ($850 million).
Combining these outside groups with fundraising by campaigns, money supporting Harris reached $2 billion. On the strength of Harris’ campaign dollars, this significantly outpaced the $1.45 billion raised to support Trump.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was the only independent candidate to get support from outside groups. Notably, the main super PAC supporting Kennedy received $25 million from Trump supporter Timothy Mellon. Kennedy dropped out of the race on Aug. 23 and endorsed Trump.

Federal law bars campaign committees from most coordination with outside organizations like super PACs. While such groups traditionally spend the bulk of their money on media campaigns advocating for or against a candidate, during the 2024 cycle they began to take on other responsibilities such as organizing town hall meetings and voter turnout efforts.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was at the forefront of expanding the use of super PAC money before he dropped out of the Republican primary. Super PACs supporting DeSantis raised $166 million, trailing only the outside groups supporting Harris and Trump.
