Republicans are on track to spend less than Democrats on television advertising in key Senate battlegrounds in the final weeks of the campaign, according to a report from Politico.
Politico reported Saturday that Republicans are on track to be “massively outspent on TV ads” in “seven of the eight” battleground states.
That adds mounting pressure for the GOP to reallocate money from the top of the ticket to save the GOP’s Senate majority as Trump’s presidential bid seems more and more tenuous.
According to Politico’s analysis, in Nevada, Missouri, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Indiana Democrats are slated to spend more than Republicans on ads boosting their candidate. In Florida, Republicans are scheduled to spend more at this point.
The spending pattern could reflect sentiment within the Democratic Party that Hillary Clinton is comfortably ahead enough in the presidential race, that massive resources can now be spent on trying to win back Senate control.
Late campaign spending, of course, is always subject to change. If Trump continues to be a problem at the top of the ticket, the Republican Party could always redirect resources down ballot.
GOOD!
Good riddance, I would like to see each and every one of them lose! I just can’t wait for election night.
Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Pennsylvania look safe for now. Keep the pressure up on those, but let’s really focus on taking New Hampshire, Nevada, Missouri, and North Carolina.
“The Party of FAMILY VALUES…”
GOP Congress Critters… up for RE ELECTION… by their silence; give tacit approval for DEGENERATE TRUMP to lead the Republican Party
THEY WANT A DEGENERATE AS THEIR LEADER … Go figure
EOM
Sounds great! Even while Nate’s 538 numbers have moved nicely at the presidential level, they’ve been stubborn at the senate level. Bumped to 64% chance of Democratic take over for part of one day, then settled back into the high 50’s since then. I keep hoping for a 53 or 54 seat majority, so we at least have a fighting chance of holding the senate come 2018.
tenuous? even tenuous sounds hyperbolic about Cheeto Donnie’s chances…
