The stakes are high this year, especially for the midterms. Democrats are fighting desperately to hold on to their majorities in the House and Senate. This is causing campaign ad spending to skyrocket.
So far, campaign ad spending for the House, Senate, gubernatorial, and state midterms have exceeded over $2 billion.
By the time November rolls around, experts estimate that this midterm will be the most expensive midterm in history.
Ad spending for broadcast, cable, streaming, and digital platforms is expected to pass $9 billion (some estimates say $10 billion).
For comparison, the second highest midterm ad spend was in 2018, at just under $4 billion.
Forecasters expect Georgia’s Senate race between Senator Raphael Warnock (D) and ex-football star Herschel Walker (R), who was endorsed by Trump, will be the most expensive ad spending “war” between two candidates, at around $276 million.
Senate races in battlegrounds states like Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Nevada are also expected to top ad spending at over $200 million.
California, Illinois, Michigan, New York, and Nevada are all expected to spend over $100 million in House races.
Here are 4 unbelievable campaign ad statistics that will shock you:

All these billions of dollars spent for ads when the money is so badly needed elsewhere! Besides, all they’re going to do when they get back in office is continue lying, cheating and stealing, but this time faster than ever… Satan knows his time is really short now!
