Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton is outspending her rival Republican Donald Trump in television advertisement in the final week of campaign, from about 14 million dollars to 32 million dollars.
This came as both candidates hit battle grounds in a tightened race in Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Arizona and Nevada, according to data from Kantar Media/CMAG, a company that tracks political advertising.
Clinton's 18 million-dollar last minute spending included about five million dollars in additional airtime in Florida, a tight state that Donald Trump must win to reach the White House.
She is also putting money on the airwaves in democrats strong states, seeking to deny Trump inroads into states seen as her wall of defense.
The democratic candidate's additional funds aimed to improve her reach in several key battlegrounds, such as Ohio, Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
Her campaign is also going up in Colorado, where it last advertised in late July, and Virginia, where it last advertisement in early August.
She is also running her first advertisement of the general election in Michigan and New Mexico.
Similarly, the Republican National Committee has made its first advertising buy in support of Trump, putting up 2.9 million dollars in five states.
The states are Florida, Michigan, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico and Iowa, and a new advertisement referencing news of a Clinton-related probe by the Federal Bureau of Information (FBI).
Trump pledged to spend 25 million dollars on advertising this week, although he is about five million dollars short of that target.
The Republican nominee would need to increase his spending by about 15 million dollars to honor his pledge to spend 100 million dollars on television from late September to the date of the election.
Future 45, a Republican super Political Action Committee, Funded by the Adelson and Ricketts families, also plans to spend 10 million dollars on a television campaign in the closing days.
