Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign this week is reserving almost $80 million in television advertising for the fall campaign season, according to a senior campaign official.

The spending includes $3 million for the rest of August, plus almost $77 million for September and October. The campaign is also placing $15 million in radio advertising for the autumn season.


The ad buy is being made in Florida, Iowa, Ohio, New Hampshire, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania as well as Nebraska's Omaha market. The Clinton campaign has already aired about $70 million worth of advertising in those states as well as Virginia and Colorado as part of its general election ad campaign.

The spending is subject to change, which is normal with ad reservations. The move to make ad reservations now is meant to lock in lower rates.

"Our campaign is going to use every tool in our toolbox from a massive grassroots campaign, state-of-the-art digital outreach and a significant advertising campaign to make sure every voter knows the stakes in this election and the danger Donald Trump represents," a senior campaign official said.

Trump, meanwhile, has advertising up in Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, reserved through Aug. 29. He doesn't have any spending booked beyond then in those states currently.
