Today’s Hillary News & Views focuses on Clinton’s expansion of the battleground map, and how it will potentially impact downballot Democrats.
Politico reports:
Hillary Clinton’s campaign is moving to pour new money into down-ballot races in an attempt to swing the Senate back to Democrats and claw back seats in the House, hoping to leverage Donald Trump's implosion into renewed Democratic control of Congress.
Clinton, who entered October with more money than any other candidate ever at her disposal, will spend more than $6 million total on paid media and get-out-the-vote efforts in the battleground states of Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, Nevada, North Carolina, Iowa, and New Hampshire — each of which also has Senate races — said campaign manager Robby Mook on a conference call with reporters on Monday.
In addition, the campaign will throw $1 million into Indiana and Missouri, two states where Clinton trails Trump, but where Senate Democrats see obvious opportunities to pick up seats.
On Monday, Mook noted that the coordinated effort includes 455 offices in the swing states alone, “and those are open and available to all Democratic candidates."
He said the overall investment in the coordinated campaign has been over $100 million, reaching gubernatorial, Senate, and House races.
