Democrats and progressive groups are trouncing Republicans and corporate America on Senate ads surrounding President Biden’s Build Back Better agenda, according to data from Kantar/CMAG.
Why it matters: With the fate of the president’s $1.75 trillion social spending and climate plan resting in the Senate, outside groups have flooded the airwaves to build — or undermine — political support for the package.
By the numbers: Democrats and affiliated groups have spent $54 million on cable, broadcast and radio ads since August.
- This month, they've booked some $9 million.
- By comparison, Republican and conservative groups have reserved some $15 million since August.
- They're set to spend only $1 million this month.
