WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – The US presidential campaign of Republican Donald Trump is spending money on ads in two traditionally Democratic states that would be crucial to a Trump victory, the campaign said in a statement Tuesday, one week before Election Day.
“Today the Donald J. Trump for President campaign added Michigan and New Mexico to its aggressive battleground state media buy in an open acknowledgment that the campaign is surging in traditionally blue states as well as traditional battleground states,” the statement from campaign digital director Brad Parscale explained.
It added that a total of $25 million is being spent in Michigan, New Mexico and 11 other swing states, including Florida and Virginia.
“By increasing our presence in battleground states and expanding into new markets, Mr. Trump is well-positioned for an impressive victory on Nov. 8th,” Parscale asserted in the statement.
