Trump Campaign Buys YouTube Ad Ahead of Dem Debates

President Donald Trump's re-election campaign bought a $100,000 advertising spot at the top of YouTube's homepage ahead of the first Democratic presidential primary debate Wednesday.

The ad called for voters to text the campaign with the words "VOTE" or "BORDER" to signal their support for Trump 2020. The advertisement is expected to reach more than 60 million viewers, The Hill reported.

The news outlet reported the Trump campaign sent several staffers to Miami to oversee rapid response efforts as the two-day of Democratic debates unfold.

The campaign has focused largely on expanding Trump's digital presence and expects to spend at least $1 billion on the re-election bid.
