The Washington Post published an analysis that looks at where throughout the nation presidential campaign donations are coming from, and most are skewed toward the Democratic candidate.

A new Washington Post analysis of online contributions to the two presidential campaigns has found that more people donated to Kamala Harris than Donald Trump, writes Clara Ence Morse, Kevin Schaul, and Azi Paybarah for the publication.

In Philadelphia, several ZIP codes stand out for their highest levels of political contributions. Some of the top areas include:
