President Trump’s reelection campaign has made a seven-figure digital ad buy ahead of this week’s Republican National Convention, targeting platforms like YouTube, Google, Facebook and Hulu.
The YouTube ads began running on the video-sharing platform’s masthead at 12:01 a.m. Monday and are set to run throughout the four-day convention, Axios reported. The campaign plans to run ads touting the president’s record on the economy and is also likely to rotate in convention footage, campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh told the news outlet.
The president’s campaign has also bought online advertising in battleground states for streaming services such as Hulu, Axios noted.
