The Time on Friday said that with more than six months left before the US 2016 general election, spending in the ongoing race for the White House has already hit 10 digits.

According to a review of federal campaign finance filings, the once-crowded and still heated Republican primary has accounted for nearly two-thirds of that sum. 

Household names such as Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump and Ted Cruz account for much of this spending. 

But a gaggle of obscure and moneyed super PACs have likewise helped rocket campaign expenditures to mesospheric levels — ones unthinkable even four years ago.
