I'm sitting at a hair salon with the radio playing and there have been 3 Harris ads so far, nothing from Trump.
I haven't seen any banner ads or streaming ads for him either.
I know this is all anecdotal, but seriously: Where are Trump's campaign ads? They seem absent from the normie space.
EDIT: this is in a battleground state where he definitely needs his ads playing.
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if they changed the rules to allow it.
EVERY rule that once existed in an election has more or less been broken by now so why not this one?
The only way they could do that without committing fraud would be to charge a flat rate for advertising. And it would have to be near the off hours rate if they want to fill the full schedule.
I'm not saying it would be impossible, but it would be quite the "cutting off your nose to spite your face" move for a bunch of companies who are already flirting with bankruptcy.
