Biden making first ad buys in Super Tuesday states
Bidens campaign is planning to make its first advertising buys in Super Tuesday states, spending six figures across seven states in an attempt to lay the groundwork beyond South Carolina.
Bidens campaign is planning to run an ad featuring then-President Barack Obama giving Biden the Medal of Freedom in several southern states with large African American populations. The ad will air in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
Biden is being heavily outspent by his rivals, according to data from the firm Advertising Analytics. All other campaigns have made significant investments throughout the race and have much more planned in coming days.
Over the next week, Bloomberg is spending $35 million, while businessman Steyer is spending $5.9 million, and Sanders is spending $3.6 million. Klobuchar is at $1.1 million with another $356,000 from a super PAC backing her while Warren is spending $628,000, with another $307,000 from the super PAC supporting her. Buttigieg is spending about $25,000, according to the data.
