Clinton, Trump buy ads during Game 7 of World Series

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have each purchased airtime for campaign ads to run during Game 7 of the World Series, according to a new report. 

CNN Money quoted a source from Fox, the network broadcasting the game nationwide, who said Clinton’s campaign has purchased four spots to run during Wednesday night’s deciding game in the battleground state of Ohio. Trump’s team, meanwhile, has booked three spots during the pivotal clash between the Cleveland Indians and the Chicago Cubs.

Trump has one “fixed” segment guaranteed to run at specific time during the game, the source said, while two of the GOP presidential nominee’s other ads are “floating.” Clinton’s commercials are all “floating,” meaning they are not locked in for a specific time during Wednesday night’s broadcast.

CNN Money said the market price for airtime during Game 7 exceeds $500,000.

The campaigns are paying less, however, as broadcasters are legally required to give candidates the “lowest unit rate” for ad space in the weeks before Election Day, according to the news outlet. 

“We are excited to take our message directly to the millions of sports fans watching the World Series to let them know that they have a clear choice in this Election, and Mr. Trump is the one who will fight for them,” Trump spokesman Jason Miller said in an email.

The three closing Trump ads are titled “Change,” “Choice” and “Corruption.”

CNN Money said media observers are predicting an audience of about 30 million viewers, potentially giving Fox its most-watched Major League Baseball game in 15 years.

Clinton’s campaign ran two ads promoting the Democratic nominee during Game 6 on Tuesday evening, it added, while Trump’s team did not run any spots. 

The National Rifle Association (NRA), which has endorsed Trump, did air one clip during Tuesday night’s game. The NRA plans to run another commercial during Game 7’s broadcast, according to the Fox source.

Trump and Clinton are battling for every voter amid a tight White House race ending in six days.

Clinton leads Trump by about 2 points in the latest RealClearPolitics average of national polls.
