Pro-Biden super PAC expands ad buy in Arizona as Trump's support slips
A deep-pocketed group backing Joe Biden will begin pouring additional money into Arizona this month, expanding its effort in the battleground state as Democrats try to capitalize on President Donald Trumps recent decline in support with voters.
Priorities USA, the primary super PAC supporting Biden, is investing an additional $831,000 in TV ads in Arizona this month, spokeswoman Daniela Martins said, nearly as much money as the group has spent over the airwaves in the state the entire election cycle.
Combined with digital ads, Priorities now plans to spend more than $1 million total in Arizona in July. To date this cycle, the group had spent $900,000 total on TV ads in the state.
