A super PAC supporting President Biden’s reelection campaign is planning to spend $250 million in advertising, the largest single purchase ad blitz by a super PAC in U.S. history, according to reports.
The spend from the super PAC Future Forward will be broken up by $140 million on television ads and $110 million and digital ads, The New York Times reported. Future Forward is reserving advertising starting this week for the ads to run after August's Democratic National Convention until Election Day.
The ads will be focused on battleground states, areas where Biden needs an extra boost after some polls showed former President Trump, his likely GOP challenger, ahead of him in those critical states.
The ads will run in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
The super PAC will also spend more than $16 million in Atlanta and $12 million in Phoenix, according to the Times. Additionally, it will spend $3 million in Madison, Wisc., and Reno, Nev., and $2 million in Flint, Mich.
The Biden campaign declined to comment on the spend.
In 2020, Future Forward spent $151 million to support Biden’s campaign.
In 2023, Future Forward aired ads supporting Biden that were focused on the Inflation Reduction Act and focused on Latino vote in Arizona, Nevada, and Pennsylvania, according to Politico.
