Trump campaign halts new ad buys in Michigan
The (s)Hill ^ | July 29, 2020 | Max Greenwood

President Trump’s reelection campaign has halted new ad buys in Michigan in recent days as polling shows former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, with a widening lead in the state.

Trump’s recent withdrawal from the airwaves in Michigan came as his campaign shifted advertising dollars to other battlegrounds like Iowa. The move was first reported on Wednesday by The New York Times. According to....

A spokesperson for the Trump campaign pointed out that the president still has massive amounts of airtime reserved in Michigan and remains confident in his prospects there. Indeed, the campaign has $11.4 million in television ads reserved beginning in September, and national buys mean that some of the president’s ads will still air in the state.

Or, it could mean just the opposite.

So, they still have ads running.

So the campaign spent $11.4 million for ads in Michigan and the fake news is that they haven’t bought more than that yet.

It makes zero sense to pull ad buys out of Michigan and focus on Iowa.

Which state has more electoral votes? MICHIGAN.

Something's not right here. My guess: Yahoo.

It’s fake. You always have to read way beyond the headlines these days.

Biden is a confused, pathetic dementia sufferer. It baffles me how anyone who voted Trump in 2016 could switch to Biden 2020 unless they’re completely ignorant about Biden’s current cognitive state. And that’s possible, considering how the media has covered for him.

No need to spend money when you have a commanding lead.

So this article is misleading.

All I see here in MI is Trump yard signs.. Not one biden sign as yet. On the home from going for dinner I saw a 3 wheeled motorcycle. The driver had on a backwards Trump 2020 cap so all behind him could read it :-)

For what it’s worth this was just posted on Twitter...

@FloridaDude297

Polling is telling us that Democrats will lose about 40 House seats with low end 27, and high end 54. GOP will gain 3 to 9 seats in Senate. Most scenarios see 5 seats won by GOP. Democrats will lose 1 Governor seat North Carolina. Trump will win 333 EV.

“So, they still have ads running.”

Ones previously bought; the article is noting the campaign is making no new buys.

I’ll bet every major political campaign is taking a good, hard look at their plans for TV ads until they get some more definitive indications about what the fall sports schedules are really going to look like.

I see you are trumpeting anti-Trump MSM stories again.

Well, looks like you've been had.

Any story to depress Trump voters from the Hill.

Maybe they are PAUSING ad buys because they have $12 Million for September.

Michigan is in play. As it always has been.
