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.
With so much of the media against him, unless it's Twitter I guessing many aren't playing his ads unless they're in dead time slots
That's not actually how that works. The ad buyer decides on the slots they want, and if they want to pay that much for it.
I suspect that's a major part of the problem. Kumswala's war chest is effectively infinite with money coming in from all kinds of shady sources, so she just flood the airways. Trump has real constraints that he has to contend with.

Trump has shit tons of money. It's just not being used well.
