Here’s How Much Ted Cruz Spent To Lose His Republican Presidential Primary Bid

In this case, spending the most money didn’t buy the White House.

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, who bowed out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination after losing Indiana's GOP primary Tuesday night, spent more than half of the total amount of cash burned by the three Republicans vying for the presidency.

The latest Federal Election Commission data show Cruz and his backers spent $112.1 million on the campaign, far more than the $83 million spent by his two rivals, New York billionaire Donald Trump and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
