This amount has been spent since the start of the campaigning. 

His team has spent $45 million on air in the last one week itself. The team also spent another $57 million in television time reserved over the final 10-days before the upcoming Elections. As per the data provided, the two campaigns — President Trump and Joe Biden’s— have spent $160 million on television and digital ads in the past week.

The report also revealed that Trump’s campaign has spent $342 million in the past two years — the time since Trump has been actively campaigning for the 2020 presidential elections. Another interesting thing was Trump spent a tad more than Joe Biden on Facebook and Google advertising — $14 million versus about $12.7 million.
