Democrats had outspent Republicans on advertisements in every competitive Senate race except for Ohio as of Wednesday, Axios reported.
Republicans are losing the ad spending race in Pennsylvania, Montana, Wisconsin, Nevada, Arizona and Michigan, though have spent slightly more in Ohio, leading their Democratic rivals by a margin of $158.4 million to $152 million, according to Axios. The Republican spending advantage in Ohio may be slightly misleading as their roughly $6 million spending advantage in Ohio is the product of considerable ad spending during the state’s competitive Republican primary, as reflected in Federal Election Commission records.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), however, is confident that it can turn things around, with a spokesperson for the group sharing with the Daily Caller News Foundation that it is planning a $100 million ad campaign across Ohio, Nevada, Michigan and Arizona. The Republican ad blitz kicked off in Michigan on Wednesday, NBC News reported.
