Donald Trump is struggling with a cash shortage, turning to wealthy donors and super PACs to fund his campaign operations. In contrast, Kamala Harris is excelling with grassroots fundraising and direct contributions, outpacing Trump significantly. Trump's reliance on billionaires and corporations, enabled by Citizens United, is resulting in subpar campaign results compared to Harris' traditional model. Outsourcing ground game operations to super PACs like Elon Musk's America PAC is proving ineffective, with reports of fraud and inefficiency. The stark difference in fundraising strategies between Trump and Harris may impact the outcome of the election.
