“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.”

3. In totally unrelated news, big media companies are bending over backward to normalize TeamTrump

and make this race more competitive than it has any right to be.

I reckon now they will get their pay-off.
