MI-SEN: Democratic group to spend $20M to defend Michigan U.S. Senate seat

Washington ― A national Democratic group said Thursday it intends to commit $20 million to TV reservations in Michigan this fall as an initial investment to help keep the state's open U.S. Senate seat in Democratic hands.

Senate Majority PAC, a super political action committee affiliated with Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer of New York, said the TV reservations ensure that Michigan voters will hear how Republican presumptive nominee Mike Rogers "backed Trump's tariffs and supported stripping millions from Medicaid."

SMP said the TV reservations will be complemented by an unspecified digital investment and begin airing this fall.

The spending ― which could be increased or canceled down the road ― is part of the flood of outside spending anticipated in one of the country's most closely watched Senate contests this year.
