A Bullish Biden Invades Trump Territory

October 7, 2020 · 4:05 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“Starting this week, a generation of voters in Texas will see something they’ve never witnessed before: a heavy rotation of presidential TV ads,” Politico reports.

“In a move that would have been far-fetched even a few months ago, Joe Biden is set to spend $6.2 million on ads in the state over the next month — attempting to put the state in play for the first time in decades… Perhaps even more astounding: Trump doesn’t have the money to counter the cash-flush Biden on TV.”

“Over the past two weeks, Biden had the airwaves to himself in Iowa, Ohio, Texas and New Hampshire, while Trump went dark.”

Meanwhile, BuzzFeed News reports Trump’s campaign “is slashing television spending in the Midwest, canceling millions of dollars in advertising in states that carried him to victory in 2016.”
