Group to launch $1M pro-Trump radio blitz

A super-PAC plans on purchasing $1 million in radio ads to boost Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, according to a new report.

USA Business Freedom PAC will release a pair of clips in four states aimed at wooing military veterans, CNN said Wednesday.

“We’re appealing to military veterans who support Trump to rebuild and reequip the military and to get the issues straightened out at the [Department of Veterans Affairs].”

Freeman said the super-PAC is focusing its dollars on Florida, Ohio, Virginia and Chandi’s native California. The ad boost comes as Trump faces criticism from all sides for verbal attacks on the family of a Muslim American soldier killed in the Iraq War.

The group boasts a $1.3 million political budget, he continued, which will also fund pro-Trump billboards and similar advertisements in some local races.

Freeman said one example includes billboards supporting Speaker Paul Ryan in his high-profile GOP House primary in Wisconsin next week. Trump has not endorsed the Speaker, though his running mate Mike Pence did so on Wednesday.

CNN said Chandi, a California gas station mogul, founded USA Business Freedom PAC when he and his wife, Susana Chandi, gave it $500,000 last December.

Freeman said Nachhattar Chandi’s company is worth $1 billion after emigrating to the U.S. from India and becoming a convenience store clerk there.

The Chandis have donated more than $480,000 to candidates and groups on both sides of the aisle, CNN said, with most contributions happening the past two years.

USA Business Freedom PAC has already spent $75,000 according to federal records, it added, and it plans on airing radio commercials through Election Day.

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton leads Trump by about 5 points nationwide, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average of polls.
