Democrat Senate Super PAC Books $54 Million in TV Ads
The Democrats' main Senate super PAC is booking $54 million in TV ads for the midterm campaign's final stretch, targeting four Republican-held seats. The new reservations are in Ohio, Iowa, North Carolina, and Alaska.
The Senate Majority PAC, aligned with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, is expanding its footprint in four battlegrounds. The PAC is booking another $54 million in TV ads, with $24 million going to Ohio, $17 million to Iowa, $11 million to North Carolina, and $2 million to Alaska.
The reservations bring the total spending in each state to $60 million in Ohio, $30.5 million in Iowa, $42.5 million in North Carolina, and $11 million in Alaska. According to Senate Majority PAC spokesperson Lauren French, the new resources show the battleground map has shifted toward Democrats.
The Senate Leadership Fund, aligned with Republicans and Majority Leader John Thune, remains significantly better capitalized, with $238 million in cash on hand as of the end of June, compared to $126 million for Senate Majority PAC.
