The campaign headquarters of US President Donald Trump, the Republican Party, and two other related committees have spent over $ 1 billion since 2017 on the campaign to re-elect the current head of state, which is a record amount in this presidential race, Washingon Post reported.

"Trump has raised and spent money for his reelection since 2017, earlier in his term than previous presidents. At this point in 2012, former president Barack Obama’s reelection effort, including the Democratic National Committee, had spent about $643 million, federal records show," the agency noted.

In July, Trump raised $ 165 million in campaign donations, while the Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden - $ 140 million. By August, the incumbent leader had $ 300 million in campaign donations, while his main rival - $ 294 million.

The Republican National Committee in August raised $ 55.3 million for party needs, compared with $ 16.3 million from the Democratic National Committee.
