AP: “Joe Biden is using a campaign cash advantage over President Donald Trump to add Republican-leaning Georgia and Iowa to his paid media footprint, bringing the Democratic challenger’s television and digital battleground map to an even dozen states.”
“The expansion reflects Biden’s newfound status as a fundraising behemoth and his campaign’s longstanding promise to set up ‘multiple paths’ to the 270 electoral votes required to win the presidency. The Biden campaign confirmed Sunday that Democrats’ joint financial operation had $466 million cash on hand to begin September; Trump and the GOP had $325 million. Biden and the Democratic National Committee had earlier reported raising almost $365 million in August, outpacing Trump and the Republican National Committee by more than $150 million. Biden now is advertising in 10 states Trump won in 2016, also including Arizona, Florida, Michigan, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.”
