By Bridget Bowman Republican presidential hopefuls making longshot bids for the White House are stepping up their ad spending as they hope to make next week's debate stage. Three candidates — businessman Perry Johnson, conservative talk radio host Larry Elder and Ryan Binkley, a pastor and entrepreneur — each spent at least $100,000 on the airwaves last week, according to spending data from the ad tracking firm AdImpact. None these candidates qualified for the first debate last month.
Main Idea: Perry Johnson, Larry Elder, and Ryan Binkley sharply increased campaign ad spending as they raced to qualify for the Republican presidential debate.
Key Points:
More ad spending by Perry Johnson, Larry Elder, and Ryan Binkley can clutter the airwaves and add to political noise for voters and households, with no clear sign the campaigns will qualify.
The spending may give voters more choices and information before the debate deadline if any candidate reaches the stage.
