President Trump’s cutting back on campaign commercials in some of the key Midwestern battlegrounds that helped him win the White House four years ago – and shifting resources to a bunch of crucial swing states further south.
The president’s re-election campaign has dropped roughly $2 million in ad reservations in Michigan and Wisconsin since last month, according to Advertising Analytics , Medium Buying, and Kantar Media’s Campaign Media Analysis Group , three leading ad tracking firms. Trump narrowly won the two states in 2016, breaking a quarter century long winning streak by Democrats.

Trafalgar poll: Trump by 1.4%
Consider that, at this point, it just might be all about the Senate races. Put a stake in NC, help out McSally, etc.
If it were in the bag for Biden, they wouldn’t have had to trot out Michelle O and her media enablers wouldn’t have put on a 30 minute infomercial to insist that the protests were mostly peaceful and to call Trump is a liar and a racist.
Biden’s toast.
Great points.
The Trump campaign is on the ball. They are running an excellent campaign.
But, sometimes an excellent campaign still loses. Events can eat the best campaign.
Not saying Trump is going to lose. But one cannot doscount wholesale the winds he is sailing into.
“ There was an interactive map showing Presidential campaign donations by state. Interestingly, Illinois showed showed $7.1M for Biden, $7M for Trump. Not a predictor of outcome, but I find curious. “
What is the point of spending a dime in Illinois?
I don’t think there has ever been an election (outside the USSR) that has been against such a massive onslaught.
That would be nice
Trump moves money to where the voting is happening big—FL, NC.
Heard from a TOP pollster Trump is up 1.5-2 in FL, up in AZ. OH and IA are off the boatd in Trump’s column.
Am told he’s up in PA.
ball game.
Actually, what I have read is that Hillary outspent Trump 2 to 1 and Biden will outspend him 1.4 to 1, at most.
NC? Cunningham is in a death spiral!
Here in Wisconsin a local radio host summed it up. Biden is right now blanketing the rust belt with ads to get democrats to vote early. Trump is waiting till the last couple of weeks to get the GOP voters who tend to vote in person.
FL &NC are voting BIG right now.
MI and WI vbm not nearly the same scale.
I think this is the gut punch that finishes Biteme. He HAS to win FL, NC, and still needs 2 of PA, MI, WI, MN,and probably one more.
“What I mean is: Why would Lindsey be vacated from his Senate seat on 11/4? Isn’t he in that seat until January, 2021? The SCOTUS vote could go on after the election and until January, 2021, right?”
You are missing the context. If Graham does not insure a vote before the election, he will lose his reelection bid because he pissed off his base.
That’s all. Don’t read more into it than is there.
Thanks for the information:) Here in Fl I see more yard signs for Trump than 4 years ago and way fewer for Biden than Hillary. I’m in the Orlando area and it’s always intense here.
Just anecdotally most hispanics I know are voting for Trump- I was surprised. Several black people where I work are for Trump- most don’t like either one and are likely to sit it out.
President Trump should be carrying all fifty states, and anything less than this says a lot about the high level of stupidity and the high level of ignorance that continues to exist throughout the U.S. and U.S. territories!
these states— FL and NC— are hotbeds of voter fraud, are they not
(therefore need more GOP ad attention to offset the fraud?)
Pedo ads will do nothing.”
I think you are right. As toxic as it is there is no way to pack the many incidents into a usable ad. Which is a pity because in addition to Biden’s many shortcomings he is just a creep and this would show it.
It’s not money coming to Ill-Annoy, it is donors FROM Illinois to the two campaigns.
