The Donald Trump campaign will finally start airing general election ads on Friday, as Hillary Clinton has already spent $61 million on general election television advertising.
Trump campaign staff told several members of Congress on a Tuesday conference call that the campaign would start airing television ads in the battleground states of Florida, Ohio, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, the Wall Street Journal reported. Trump staff reportedly said that the campaign will begin airing even more ads in September.
Trump’s campaign has lagged significantly in getting general election ads up on the airwaves, and had spent nothing on television ads up until now. Meanwhile, the Clinton campaign has been spending on general election advertising for the past two months.
Outside groups supporting Trump have aired television ads, but they have only spent $12.4 million, according to NBC News. Outside groups backing Clinton have spent $43 million on ads, per NBC.
The Republican nominee has slipped in the polls since the July conventions, but he’s signaled that he’s not willing to change his campaigning style. And now Trump has hired the executive chairman of Breitbart News to be the CEO of his campaign, who has reportedly been advising Trump to run as an “unabashed nationalist” for months.

I’m in Ohio and the ads are already thick.
Wonder how this will translate into ads.
Trump: I am the smartest candidate ever. $$/vote will be lowest for me. It will be almost 0. Imagine what I will do to the country’s budget as I am the most efficient person ever. Ever!
If Donnie has the final say over these ads, they will most likely be as tasteless, offensive and false as everything else that comes out of his campaign.
Please proceed, Cheeto-face.
