Pro-Trump super PAC plans $100M push in key swing states

A pro-Donald Trump super PAC says it will spend $100 million over the summer for advertising in a handful of key swing states it says expand the former president’s path to victory.

The plan was outlined in a five-page memo sent Tuesday to donors of MAGA Inc., a top Trump-backing super PAC that has spent $130 million since the start of the election cycle, including millions of dollars for Trump legal bills.

“We are under no illusion it will be easy, or fair — but thankfully, President Trump is well positioned to win as long as we all continue doing our part,” wrote group CEO Taylor Budowich in the memo, which was first reported by the New York Times. “We have conserved resources for this moment, and MAGA Inc. will continue to put every dollar we raise straight into ensuring President Trump wins.”

The group, which says it will report raising $70 million in May alone, is centering its summer investment strategy largely on four states: Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada.

“Democrats realize their money advantage only matters if the electoral map is broad. They need to both solidify the Blue Wall states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, while keeping President Trump defensive in the Sun Belt states of Georgia, Arizona, North Carolina and Nevada,” Budowich wrote.

Biden’s campaign and aligned committees are coming off of their own six-week $30 million swing state TV campaign. Two pro-Biden super PACs are also planning their own $50 million ad blitz, according to the Washington Post. The ads will be focused on Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

The Biden campaign did not return a request for comment.

Trump and Republicans have long acknowledged they will be at a money disadvantage
