Republican Party megadonors are racing to bail out President Donald Trumps cash-strapped reelection campaign, with a newly formed super PAC pouring another $25 million into battleground states.
Preserve America is set to begin running a trio of TV commercials savaging Democrat Joe Biden as Republicans express growing alarm over the presidents absence on the airwaves. Trump who went dark for part of August and has since cancelled advertising in key states is being outspent more than 2-to-1 by Biden this week, according to the media tracking firm Advertising Analytics.
The outside group, which is expected to draw funding from prolific GOP givers including Las Vegas casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus, is rushing to fill the void. Starting late this week, the super PAC will begin airing ads in seven states, including some where Trump is getting badly outspent.
With Trumps once-formidable cash advantage over Biden now erased, the presidents advisers remain deeply concerned about the air war. While Preserve America has dished out $55 million this month alone already making it one of the highest-spending outside groups this election year the sum pales in comparison to the $100 million, pro-Biden assault that billionaire former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is prepping in just Florida alone. And in August, the Biden campaign and affiliated committees outraised Trump by $154 million.
