(VOVWORLD) - Kamala Harris entered the final month of the US presidential election campaign vastly outspending Donald Trump, as both candidates put tens of millions of dollars into television ads ahead of the November 5 contest, according to financial disclosures filed on Sunday.

Vice President Harris, the Democratic candidate, disclosed to the Federal Election Commission spending of 270 million USD last month, largely on ads. Similarly ad-dominated spending by former President Trump, the Republican candidate, totaled 78 million USD during the month.
Harris has raised more money than Trump in recent months, mostly from small donors, including in September when Harris raised 222 million USD to Trump's 63 million USD. But Trump's deep-pocket backers, including billionaire Elon Musk, have put significant resources into groups allied with the former president.
The Make America Great Again Inc. super PAC, one of the largest of Trump's allied groups, received a 25 million USD contribution in September from conservative billionaire Timothy Mellon, according to a separate filing with the Federal Election Commission.
