There are millions and millions, as The Rock says, of dollars spent around the Super Bowl. So, it should be of no surprise that about $20 million of them — at least — will come from a pair of the 2020 Presidential candidates.
The New York Post reports Democratic candidate Michael Bloomberg, who is seeking is party’s nomination, will spend some of his billions — $10 million — for a 60-second commercial during the big game on Feb. 2.
“When the Trump campaign decided to run an ad during the big game, the Bloomberg campaign responded by buying a spot. Mike is taking the fight to Trump,” Bloomberg spokesman Michael Frazier said to the paper. “Trump is reportedly running a 30-second ad. Bloomberg opted for more impact and more time with 60 seconds,” he added.
The President’s campaign doused the Bloomberg boast … quickly.
“We have been in discussions with Fox since the fall and reserved time in December,” Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh told the Post. “We paid for the ad last week. We bought 60 seconds of time.”
Added Murtaugh, “We got in early, which gave us prime ad position early in the game.”
