Estimated $250 Million Campaign Spending Across Candidates
The AP reports total campaign outlays may reach 250 to 300 million dollars, with a third spent on the presidential race. Experts Herman Alexander and Stephen Horn project 250 to 275 million or 256 to 300 million, noting reporting gaps and state-by-state variation.

Major costs include television and radio advertising, production, travel, literature, and staff, with Republicans historically outspending Democrats in prior cycles.
