YouTubes homepage will feature ads in support of Donald Trumps reelection campaign on election day 2020, Bloomberg reported on Thursday.
Trumps reelection campaign bought out YouTubes masthead ad space for early November including election day, November 3, according to Bloomberg. By purchasing this highly trafficked ad space, the Trump campaign is betting that the visibility could aid his candidacy in some of the most important days leading up to the election.
This isnt the first time that the Trump campaign purchased the coveted masthead ads ahead of important election events. Last summer, Trumps reelection campaign spent between $500,000 to $1 million on the ad space ahead of the first Democratic presidential debate in June. The debate was livestreaming on YouTube, and the ads blasted Trumps face and message to potential future Democratic voters. An unusually high number of candidates qualified for that debate, so it was split into two days.
Bloomberg reported Thursday that the YouTube banner is more akin to a Super Bowl ad than a traditional targeted ad buy. Its not clear how much Trumps reelection campaign spent on the ad space, but it can cost campaigns more than $1 million a day.
