Donald Trump Bets Big on Online Advertising

The spending is more than five times what Trump paid the firm in June, and appears to be outpacing any similar effort by Clinton.

Donald Trump placed a big bet that online advertising will help him defeat Hillary Clinton in the presidential race, directing $8.4 million in July to a digital marketing company in Texas, according to his latest campaign filing.

The spending is more than five times what Trump paid the firm, Giles-Parscale of San Antonio, in June, and appears to be outpacing any similar effort by the Democrat.
