Senate Republicans pull TV ads in Ohio ahead of tight race

[cigaretteman]

The National Republican Senatorial Committee canceled its cable television spots for the fall in Ohio, where Cleveland businessman Bernie Moreno (R) is looking to unseat the incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown (D) in November.


In a post on X on Monday, the NRSC said that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris had a “historical unpopularity” in the now solidly red Ohio, adding that “advertising dollars can be spent more efficiently as hybrid ads” and that the state “remains a top pickup opportunity.” The group had planned to spend about $700,000 between Aug. 31 and Nov. 5, according to the tracking firm AdImpact.

They were discussing on Nicolle Wallace’s show earlier that the Democrats may spend in Ohio to force the Trump campaign to spend dollars there trying to hold it, and away from battleground states.
