Trump Campaign Has Spent $325,000 on Facebook Ads Featuring Brad Parscale's Page - The New York
President Trump 's re-election campaign has begun spending heavily on Facebook ads that also promote the social media pages of his campaign manager, Brad Parscale, running more than $325,000 in such ads, mostly in recent weeks.
Until this week, Mr. Parscale was one of only three people whose Facebook and Instagram pages the campaign had used to display ads. The other two were Donald J. Trump and Mike Pence.
Digital strategists said it was highly unusual to use a campaign staff member's page to run ads. But the Trump campaign said that it was testing the use of Mr. Parscale's page to run ads from different accounts, with more to follow, including Donald Trump Jr., and that Mr. Parscale had received no financial gain.

Trump campaign makes $95 million ad buy in battleground states – Ballotpedia News
"Biden shouldn't worry about the campaign narrative. Or about unproven and unlikely effects on voter turnout. Or about how his pick contrasts with Donald Trump or Mike Pence. And certainly not about which potential running mate would annoy Trump the most. None of that is likely to matter during the campaign because running mates usually don't matter. Mainly, Biden should just try to avoid disaster or harming the party.
And remember: If Biden does well, two weeks after the convention we'll rarely think about his running mate for the rest of the campaign. No matter how strong a selection she is."

That expectation starts at the top of the ballot. Bill Russo, a spokesman for former Vice President Joe Biden's presidential campaign, said in a statement to Morning Consult that while the campaign shares similar concerns as the companies who are speaking up about Facebook's "inactions," it doesn't plan to pull advertising spending from the platform.
"With less than five months until Election Day, we cannot afford to cede these platforms to Donald Trump and his lies," Russo said. "Our campaign will be present every day to get our message in front of every voter to ensure Trump doesn’t get another four years."
