Major GOP outside group pouring money into increasingly competitive Georgia
Two groups affiliated with American Crossroads the decade-old powerful outside group that supports Republican candidates and causes are spending big bucks on TV commercials in a key Senate race in Georgia, a once reliably red state that recent polling indicates is now up for grabs.
Fox News has learned that One Nation the nonprofit advocacy arm of American Crossroads on Wednesday is placing an $8.65 million ad buy to run spots for four weeks in Georgia, starting on August 4.
And Senate Leadership Fund -- a Crossroads-affiliated super PAC that works to protect and expand the GOP majority in the Senate is expected later this week to shell out up to $13.5 million to start running ads in mid-September.
The ad buys -- the latest by Republican groups in recent weeks -- illustrate that Georgia is increasingly becoming a battleground state. The National Republican Senatorial Committee, the reelection arm of Senate Republicans, booked at least $2 million to run spots in the state starting later this month, as per the ad-tracking firm Advertising Analytics. And President Trumps reelection campaign reserved air time to run commercials in Georgia from September through Election Day.
