Trump vastly outspending Biden in presidential campaign ad wars
Fox News ^ | May 25 2020 | Paul Steinhauser

President Trump’s campaign has outspent Democratic challenger Joe Biden's by nearly a three-to-one margin since the general election campaign got underway a month and a half ago.

The former vice president’s campaign has spent roughly $8 million to run ads since early April, when Biden became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee as his last remaining rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., ended his White House bid. Those figures come from Advertising Analytics, a leading ad tracking firm.

The president’s reelection campaign and the allied Make America Great Again Committee have spent approximately $21 million to run ads during the same time period.

Well, reasonable people considering donating would wonder, if Biden doesn’t even know where he is or what he’s doing frequently, a whole bunch of those donations would likely be fleeced.

It always helps (Biden) to have hours of free ads from the media every day.

That’s fine but opponent may not be Biden.

Start selling MAGA and forget about and ignore Biden

So far, the earned media, the legit news stories have far more impact than the paid ads. You aint Black is just the most recent example of that. Hiding in his basement is the on going narrative and context for the You aint Black comment

No Trump ad can top that.

Trump's campaign war chest will be dwarfed by biden's illegal crooked contributions coming from globalist around the globe and the trillion dollar man himself along with the HELLwood demons and the mediaVOMITS gushing over the senile racist with free positive optics! If you think hitlery's 1 billion 💵 was an eye popper ..we haven't seen nothing yet! This time fraud and the Chinese interference will be flaunted in front of our very own eyes and there will be nothing we can do about it! Bagpipes Barr will become complacent and useless! Again, if trump wins after the onslaught coming his way then I can honestly say God's hand made his victory possible! No other way to explain it!

A rather meaningless statistic considering how much Hillary outspent Trump by four years ago.

Biden doesn’t need to spend a dime beyond GOTV. The media is all in for Biden. If he wants a message out there just tell the MSM and they’ll do it for free.

Trump needs his rallies - it forces the local media to cover (free press)

CNN, MSDNC, etc are basically Biden TV

Biden isn’t pulling in the money the Dems want him to.

We could use some in South East Michigan.

“Trump’s irresponsibility killed people” crapola.

Trump knows the deep state can't abandon Biden and he's not taking any chances.

Why?

I see Trump signs, bumper stickers, and flags everywhere. Haven’t seen a Biden one yet.
