Campaign spending

While the Republican National Committee has abandoned Michigan governor candidate Tudor Dixon, Trump is on the way there for a rally. Trump may be the exception. He’s scheduled to headline a Saturday rally for Dixon and other GOP candidates in the state. His visit comes at a time when Whitmer and the Democratic groups supporting her re-election are crushing Dixon and the GOP in ad spending, $16.5 million to $924,000 through Wednesday, according to AdImpact, an ad-tracking firm.  They say that money is the Mother's Milk of politics and this election may prove the point. But this is not always the case. Clinton spent $450 million while Trump spent $239 million. Overall spending including PAC's gave Clinton the lead $1.4 billion to $950 million.
