In a 30-second ad, Mr. Ramaswamy's campaign claims that CNN is “handpicking” polls on who is eligible to participate in the debates, and that mainstream media is “rigging the Iowa Republican caucus.” “They are trying to manipulate candidates to give them an advantage over corporate candidates.” they are in control. ”
“Don't fall for the tricks. They're telling you the truth about what happened on January 6th, the truth about the origins of the coronavirus, the Hunter Biden laptop story, and the lies they told you.” I don't want you to hear all that from me. So you can fix it: Pick up the remote and turn this off,'' he added, before making a beep that mimicked an expletive at the end of the commercial. It rang.

Ramaswamy campaign CEO Ben Yoho told Breitbart News that the campaign is not slowing down spending. Rather, it simply shifts TV money to other areas, as the $93.8 million total TV spending by all candidates in Iowa alone to that point caused little change in the contours of the race.
“All we did was reallocate the money that was earmarked for broadcast and cable to people higher up.” [return-on-investment] “With the tactics we've found to keep voters away from voting, you can do more in a cheaper way, including addressable ads being significantly cheaper than broadcast ads.” he said.
For one night at least, the campaign is re-adopting its TV advertising strategy.
