PHILADELPHIA — Pennsylvania was already expected to have one of the most expensive Senate races in the country. Now two super PACs are spending big bucks booking TV time.
The Senate Leadership Fund, a GOP super PAC focused on reclaiming the Senate, will pour an additional $9.5 million into promoting Mehmet Oz’s campaign, raising its total pledged spending to about $34 million in the state. The increase reflects a doubling down of Republicans on winning the seat in Pennsylvania and an urgency to get Oz, who had not been on TV until recently, on air.
In a sign of how both parties are gearing up in Pennsylvania, the Democratic Senate Majority PAC, which supports Democratic Senate campaigns, launched its own $32 million TV ad campaign for Lt. Gov. John Fetterman on Tuesday.
