Donald Trump VS Kamala Harris

Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are deadlocked in the polls,


Pre-election survey shows Harris with a razor-thin one-point lead. Harris leads Trump 49% to 48% among likely voters, within the one-point margin of error.

The last time Donald Trump won an election, he faced a cash shortage, forcing him to take out an unexpected loan, which he kept hidden by leaving it off his financial disclosure reports, Forbes has learned. Then he apparently quickly repaid it, using proceeds he received from selling his daughter’s penthouse to a woman with Chinese government connections.

Trump had plenty of cash before he ran for president. In mid-2013, he listed $339 million of liquid assets on his balance sheet. Trump kept earning money but spent far more, shelling out more than $350 million to develop properties and another $66 million to run for president, burning through his cash pile. Days after he won, he committed to another big expense, agreeing to settle litigation involving Trump University for $25 million.

Between their campaign committees and the PACs that supported their election efforts:

1_Harris raised $1.6 billion with help from deep-pocketed donors like Michael Bloomberg, Bill Gates, Melinda French Gates, Laurene Powell Jobs, Reed Hastings, and Dustin Moskovitz (a Facebook co-founder).

2_Trump raised $1.1 billion, with one-fifth of the pile coming from Elon Musk and Timothy Mellon—a banking heir who was this election’s largest individual donor. The former president also got $100+ million from Miriam Adelson, the majority owner of Las Vegas Sands Corp.
