The presidential candidates and their allies plan to spend more than half a billion dollars on television and radio advertising over the final seven weeks of the campaign, the New York Times reports.
Groups backing Vice President Kamala Harris have reserved $332 million worth of airtime for television and radio ads 63% of the total while just about $194 million will come from groups backing former President Donald Trump.
The ad wars are the consequence of the fund-raising wars: Democrats have significantly out-raised Republicans in the months after Ms. Harris succeeded President Biden as the head of the Democratic ticket, and Ms. Harris has more money to spend on paid media.
