Clinton didn’t spend anything on Facebook? The data is also a little screwed considering that it was Trump and Hillary in the General election. All of the other candidates were just in the primary. Ad spending will heavily increase for a candidate in the General election.

The article cover spending between May 2018 and July 2019.

Clinton announced On March 4, 2019 that she will not run for president in 2020. (http://westchester.news12.com/story/40067049/im-not-running-...)

The article is not about last the election cycle 3-5 years ago.

Fair enough - I scrolled over the dates. That doesn’t dismiss the fact that you have a national party backing compared to individuals. In which case democrats are heavily outspending republicans.

"One area of particular relevance and interest is the US 2020 Presidential campaign."

This is for next election, not the past one, and it looks like Clinton is not involved this time (no idea if it's the case, but I assume she would appear in the article else)

There were at least 4 candidates on my ballot in the election.
