Joe Biden spent big on Facebook ads as Trump came under fire for George Floyd protest response

Starting last week, Biden spent over $4.9 million on Facebook ads. Trump’s campaign, which historically has often outspent the now presumptive Democratic nominee on the same platform, spent over $1.2 million.

Biden’s ad spend is more than Trump has ever spent on Facebook ads in a given week throughout the 2020 election cycle, the data shows.

Biden’s spending spree represents one of the clearest signals yet that his campaign senses that it has momentum against Trump and that it has the resources to compete with the president’s financial war chest.

I’m not a fan of Facebook but I’m glad to see the Biden campaign is learning from 2016.

never be a better opportunity. Someone made a very astute point on Morning Joe that this has all occurred while there were no other distractions going on like Sports and other events, so the normally disengaged public are getting to see the truth.
