Michael Bloomberg and Donald Trump Plot Dueling Super Bowl Ad Spots

[Gefn]

The presidential campaigns of Michael Bloomberg and Donald Trump are each planning to invest heavily in ad spots that will air during the Super Bowl on Feb. 2, when the price for a 30-second spot is reportedly going for $5 million.

Trump’s campaign will spend $10 million on advertising during the game, according to a campaign official.

“The President’s record and unprecedented fundraising make this possible,” Tim Murtaugh, director of communications for the campaign, wrote on Twitter.

Bloomberg is planning a 60-second spot that will target Trump, according to The New York Times. That ad buy also is estimated to cost $10 million, given the rate that Fox is seeking. Campaign spokesman Michael Frazier confirmed that they would be running a Super Bowl ad at market rate, but said that they have not disclosed the content of the spot.

But they aren’t advertising on The Puppy Bowl!

Some people watch that instead of the football game.

1, the spots are sold out already and have been since November. 2, the networks don't take political ads during the Super Bowl because it's impossible to accommodate all of the candidates.

So they may plan on it, but neither one's going to get their ad time.

I was wondering about that.
