Democrats are spending more in the other two so-called blue wall states with more than $10 million in Michigan to Republicans’ $7 million and more than $8 million in Wisconsin to Republicans’ more than $6 million.

At the same time, Republicans have outspent Democrats in Georgia with $10 million to more than $6.5 million and in Arizona with $7.5 million to Democrats’ $3.4 million.
