Live updates: Donald Trump, Kamala Harris election news | CNN Politics

A leading pro-Trump super PAC has bought nearly $16 million more ad time in key swing states as Republicans work to cut into the advertising edge that Kamala Harris and her Democratic allies have developed in recent weeks.

Over the last two days, MAGA Inc., the super PAC, reserved a total of about $15.8 million in new ad bookings, beginning this week and set to run through Election Day, and targeting four top battlegrounds.

The group added a total of $5.9 million to its bookings in Pennsylvania – including $3.8 million targeting the Pittsburgh market, $712,000 targeting the Harrisburg market, $300,000 targeting the Johnstown market, and with $1.09 million targeting the heavily saturated Philadelphia market. In addition, MAGA Inc. added $4.35 million to its bookings in North Carolina, $3 million to its bookings in Georgia, and $2.6 million to its bookings in Arizona.

The infusion of cash will help Republicans mitigate an advertising advantage that Democrats have established since Kamala Harris took over the ticket. Between July 22 and today, Democrats have outspent Republicans on advertising in the presidential race by a total of about $645 million to $415 million, including a more than $100 million overall edge on digital platforms.

Across the key swing states – Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona, North Carolina, and Nevada – the battle has been closer, but Democrats still have the edge, having spent about $482 million to $369 million from Republicans.
