Answer:

They spend all of their money on Rallies, merch (signs, t-shirts etc.) Travel costs for going out of state to other Rallies and speeches, Advertising, staff, to help run for office.

Step-by-step explanation:

Political campaigns involve considerable expenditures, including travel costs of candidates and staff, political consulting, and advertising. ... The need to raise money to maintain expensive political campaigns diminishes ties to a representative democracy because of the influence large contributors have over politicians.
