One of the Super PACs backing Jeb Bush has decided to pull a planned ad buy, for now. Right to Rise has delayed a planned series of TV ads for Bush aimed at the Super Tuesday states, reports Time Magazine:
According to a person familiar with the decision, the ads for the March 1 races—when 571 pledged delegates will be bound across 13 states—will be delayed until after the South Carolina primary on Saturday. A Right to Rise spokesman said the delay will help it determine where to prioritize spending in the coming primaries.
The decision follows a similar move announced on Feb. 10, when the group announced it would shift another $1.7 million into the Palmetto State by delaying ads in Virginia, Georgia, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Michigan and Idaho. The super PAC has already spent about $10 million in South Carolina.
According to officials the delayed ad buy will not mean a boost in spending for South Caroline. Bush is trying to propel himself past Marco Rubio and Ohio Governor John Kasich in the South Carolina primary, even scheduling appearances with his brother, former president George W. Bush.
