Donald Trump's campaign said Tuesday it is spending
$25 million on battle ground state ads in the election's final week, signaling
that it sees opportunities in some contests that looked out of reach.
Trump will buy ads in Colorado, Maine, Michigan, New
Mexico, Wisconsin and Virginia, states that most recent polls have signaled
lean toward Hillary Clinton. He will also buy ads in battlegrounds Florida,
Iowa, North Carolina and Ohio, states with tight races or a Trump lead. Republican
presidential nominee Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally at the

The Trump campaign later said it will also buy ads
in Pennsylvania after not including the state in its first statement. Almost
all recent surveys have shown Clinton with an advantage in the Keystone State,
which has 20 Electoral College votes.
Trump's team has contended that it could take some
blue-leaning states like Michigan and Wisconsin despite a solid Clinton lead in
recent polls. Trump campaigned in Michigan on Monday and in Pennsylvania on
Tuesday before he hits the trail in Wisconsin later in the day, one week before
Election Day.
In a statement, Trump's campaign said Tuesday it
sees Florida and Ohio "decisively turning" toward the Republican
candidate and is witnessing "strong growth" in North Carolina.
Most recent polls in Florida and Ohio have leaned
Trump's way, but he will need to win more battleground states than those two to
win the presidency.
