Top Democratic super PAC reserves $65M in airtime across six battlegrounds
The largest Democratic super PAC supporting former Vice President Joe Bidens election has reserved $65 million in airtime across six battleground states as the air wars heat up ahead of the general election between presumptive Democratic nominee Biden and President Trump.
Priorities USA announced Monday it has made reservations of $17 million in Michigan, $13 million in Pennsylvania, $13 million in Florida, $10.4 million in Wisconsin, $6.5 million in Arizona and $4.8 million in North Carolina.
"The Trump campaign is sitting on hundreds of millions of dollars and his super PAC is already on air against Joe Biden, said Guy Cecil, the chairman of Priorities USA. "We wont let our nominee face that alone. Priorities has been outspending Trump in key battleground states for nine months, and by placing $65 million in TV reservations, we are committing to take the fight to Trump through Election Day."
Trumps campaign and the Republican National Committee (RNC) will have a big fundraising advantage over Biden and the Democratic National Committee. Trump and the RNC entered April with more than $240 million on hand after combining to raise more than $212 million in the first quarter.
