Although real estate mogul Donald Trump continues to lead all national and state polls, the GOP presidential front-runner has unveiled his first campaign ad, set to air in the early states of Iowa and New Hampshire starting Tuesday, Jan. 5, a
press release reports.
The 30-second spot, which focuses on national security, illegal immigration, and his vision to "make America great again," will cost the billionaire at least $2 million per week — $1.1 million being spent on TV in Iowa and close to $1 million in New Hampshire.
"I am leading in every poll by wide, double digit margins. We have tremendous crowds, incredible support from all over the country and I am $35 million dollars under budget," Trump said in the press release.
"We have spent the least amount of money and have the best results and this is the kind of thinking the country needs. I am very proud of this ad, I don't know if I need it, but I don't want to take any chances because if I win, we are going to Make America Great Again."
Trump has previously run radio ads in the first three primary states and has every intention to continue to do so, the press release notes.
In addition to the new TV ad this week, the GOP front-runner is also premiering a radio ad featuring Kathryn Gates-Skipper, the first female Marine to serve in combat operations as well as another radio ad in South Carolina featuring Nancy Mace, the first female graduate of The Citadel.
