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.

Have to agree, but it’s been a crazy year where POTUS has to deal with nonstop COVID COVID COVID propagandaand the one thing he has going as the economy and COVID took that away.

This operation chaos was done intentionally imo

“So why is Biden in Arizona and Pennsylvania? Because he’s losing.”

I think he’s in Arizona to help the reprehensible Mark Kelly-Gifford in his senate run against the hapless Martha McSally.

I spent 13 weeks in Iowa recently. Senator Joni Ernst’s opponent was running ads on TV and radio every 15 minutes, everyday. Dems have are spending a title wave of money in Iowa.

Trump is still the damned president and has the bully pulpit. Where is he?

That said, a lot of this is his own fault because of his off-the-cuff style and twitter BS. He topped himself by catching Covid.

Yeah but a lot of folks here have been saying FL is a lock for the President.

Why put money into a lock?

His spokesman said biden thinking he can pour money into ads will win him a state is crazy.

If it’s crazy, then why does Trump need to put more money into FL, regardless of whether biden is spending a lot there or not?

Again, with false or misleading info coming at us left and right, it’s hard to know what’s going on.

Nervous? Really?
Trump’s a business man who knows the value of a dollar, AND he wants to win in a landslide.
If he actually is pulling the money out it’s to help MAGA.
It’s all about MAGA with Trump.

“the article does not say that he is cutting all money from these states. It says CUTTING BACK on money”

THANK YOU!

Who isn’t annoyed by all the ADs at this point?

I say the true undecided in this country is about 2% at most.

Didn’t Trump campaign just announce a 66 million dollar GOTV effort?

This election is all about the getting your supporters to vote.

Does Kelly take the seat on Nov. 4th if he wins? Why am I getting texts saying that if he wins, Amy Coney Barret will not be seated on SCOTUS bc we will lose McSally’s vote?

The Supreme Court vote will happen before the election. Kelly is a non-factor.

Why is Biden running ads on channels that serve MD/NoVa/S.PA?

There’s that law of diminishing returns. I don’t want to see or hear another ad.

Wisconsin and Michigan are in the bag for Trump so no need for the adds.

Only the legal votes.

One thing about these threads is that all of the people and their pearl-clutching from 2016 have filtered back onto the site after they mostly vanished after that election because they looked so stupid.

So we have to listen to their whinging until he wins again.

Did not Mitch McConnell make a statement a while back, in response to this question, that if Kelly won he would not be seated immediately?
