Winners and losers of 2020 presidential race. Who are they?

Jim Justin (winner, $1.2 billion fortune)

Justin was one of the first candidates who learnt about his victory. He was re-elected to a second term as Governor of Virginia. After the vote count had been completed, he managed to get ahead of his main rival. On his own election campaign, Jim Justin spent about $1.8 million of the funds that he was able to raise in various ways. The final amount was made up of voluntary donations, candidates' own funds, and even borrowed money.

Besides, he spent $1 million on the re-election of Lindsey Graham from the Super Committee who managed to overtake her opponent. Again, it looked like money well spent.
