The Latest: Clinton joins Trump in airing ads in Dem states
WASHINGTON – The Latest on the U.S. presidential race in Michigan (all times EDT):
2:15 p.m.
Hillary Clinton is also making plans to air TV commercials in typically Democratic Michigan and New Mexico.
Her campaign said Tuesday it will spend more than $100,000 on TV commercials in each of the two states. That announcement came shortly after Republican Donald Trump’s campaign said it would be advertising there.
Clinton’s campaign earlier confirmed it will be advertising in Colorado for the first time since July. And it also is deploying ads in Virginia for the first time since early August.
Clinton spokesman Jesse Ferguson said the Trump campaign sees a path through these states, but “we’re going to make sure those doors remain shut.”
Trump has to win some traditionally Democratic states to secure the 270 electoral votes needed for the presidency.
