Biden tops field of 2020 Dems in digital spending

Former Vice President Joe Biden led the field of presidential contenders in digital ad spending last week, dropping roughly $438,000 on Facebook and Google advertisements, according to data from the two companies.

The spending, which covers the week of April 28, means that the former vice president spent more than $1.2 million on Facebook and Google ads in the less than two weeks since he launched his 2020 presidential bid.

Biden’s $1.2 million in total ad spending on the two platforms is topped in the Democratic field only by Sens. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), all of whom have been on the campaign trail for months longer than Biden.

Harris has spent roughly $1.43 million on Facebook and Google ads since jumping into the presidential race in January. Last week, she dropped about $350,000, quadrupling her spending from the previous week.

Warren spent $131,000 on Facebook and Google ads last week, bringing her total Facebook and Google ad spending to $1.42 million since she announced her candidacy on New Year’s Eve, according to the data.
