Trump plans major ad buy

Donald Trump’s campaign is making its biggest general election ad buy to date, with plans to spend upward of $10 million on commercials airing over the nextweek or so.

The campaign was expecting to air a new ad, which paints rival Hillary Clinton as a job-killer, as soon as Monday in nine states: Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Florida (where the campaign has already been on the air) along with New Hampshire, Virginia, Iowa, Colorado and Nevada. Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, has so far been badly outspent by Clinton and groups supporting her. Since clinching her party’s nomination in early June, Clinton has spent more than $77million on television and radio advertising, largely targeting voters in battleground states, according to Kantar Media’s political ad tracker.

Trump hit the airwaves earlier this month with an ad focused on immigration, and so far has spent about $5 million.
