As election nears, Republicans pour millions into anti-immigrant ad campaign
— AZ Mirror, September 18, 2024
In July, Republican candidates and right-wing groups spent more than $37 million on anti-immigrant ads in both swing and border states, increasing their year-to-date tab for such ads to more than $117 million, far above the $15 million that Democrats have spent on immigration-focused messaging this year, according to the ad-tracking company AdImpact. GOP spending on the ads nearly doubled in the second quarter and reached its highest mark in July when they funded 114 anti-immigrant television ads in federal, state, and local elections in 11 battleground states, as well as Montana.
