Iowa Republicans will see millions of dollars in ads supporting Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis after their camps made some of their most significant ad buys in the Hawkeye State to date.

A super political action committee supporting Haley disclosed about $6.6 million in spending in Iowa and New Hampshire on Thursday, its largest advertising purchase yet. DeSantis’s campaign also said it is planning to make a $2 million advertising push in Iowa, of which some $1.3 million of time has already been reserved, according to tracking firm AdImpact.
