Presidential Ad Spending Hits Record High In Key Battleground States

Trump heads to battleground Pennsylvania as criminal trial looms

As the spotlight shifts between the vice presidential nominees, the airwaves remain dominated by the presidential ad wars, with spending reaching new heights. Last week, a record-breaking total of over $82 million was spent on presidential advertising across the nation, with Democrats outspending Republicans by a significant margin.

Following President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the race, Vice President Kamala Harris and her campaign have been actively promoting her record and biography while also launching attacks on former President Donald Trump. On the other side, the Trump campaign and its allies have been focusing on issues such as immigration and crime, attributing blame to both Biden and Harris.
