Political spending in the 2020 election totaled $14.4 billion, more than doubling the total cost of the record-breaking 2016 presidential election cycle.
That’s according to OpenSecrets’ analysis of Federal Election Commission filings. OpenSecrets previously estimated that the 2020 election would cost around $14 billion. The extraordinary spending figure makes the 2020 election the most expensive of all time by a large margin.
The pricey presidential showdown between Joe Biden and Donald Trump was funded by an unprecedented number of small donors giving online and billionaires who wielded tremendous political influence over the last decade. Donors also fueled record spending in congressional races, capping off the 2020 election with the all-time most expensive Georgia Senate runoffs.

Former President Donald Trump has $105 million in the bank among four political committees he controls, a massive sum he could use to influence intraparty battles over the future of the Republican Party.
Trump continued to ask his supporters for campaign cash long after he lost the Nov. 3 election. Trump’s new leadership PAC, Save America, raised around $31 million between Nov. 24 and Dec. 31, according to a new Federal Election Commission filing released Sunday. While Trump’s group told supporters it was raising money to fight election fraud and help Republicans win the Georgia runoffs, the PAC made its only expenditures on fundraising fees.
