Conservative radio host Larry Elder, businessman\u200d Perry Johnson, and Pastor Ryan Binkley have all invested a minimum of $100,000 in ads that aired last \u2062week, as reported by \u200bNBC News. Despite failing to \u2063qualify for the first debate, these underdogs are determined to make their mark.<\/p>\n<h3>Elder&#8217;s Bold Message Strikes a Chord<\/h3>\n<p>In a\u200d powerful ad that aired last week, Elder declared,\u200b &#8220;The RNC is scared because they know I will talk about difficult issues: The epidemic of fatherlessness, \u2064my proposal\u200d to fire George Soros-backed [district attorneys], and the lie that America is systemically racist.\u2063 To make the debate stage in September, I \u2062need \u200byour help.&#8221; With a total ad spend of $163,000 \u200dfrom Sept.\u2064 11 through Sept. 17, Elder targeted major cities such as Miami, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Philadelphia, leaving a lasting impression.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson, on the other hand, significantly increased his ad \u200cspending\u200b by four times during the same period, totaling \u2064$458,000. This surge \u2063in investment \u2063made him the second-largest ad spender among GOP candidates,\u2064 trailing only\u200d behind Sen. Tim Scott\u200b (R-SC). \u200dMeanwhile, Binkley, with a respectable $202,000\u2064 spent \u200bon ads\u2064 last week, emerged as the second highest spender among the trio.<\/p>\n<p>Both Johnson and Binkley \u200dstrategically allocated their funds towards national ad campaigns, aiming to boost their national polling numbers and meet the\u2064 debate criteria. \u200bTo qualify, candidates must\u2062 secure \u200d3% of the votes in two national polls or two early state polls, along with one national poll, by the Sept. 25 deadline. Additionally, both candidates have successfully reached the $50,000 \u2064donor threshold, demonstrating their growing support.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2062 highly anticipated second debate is scheduled to take place in Simi Valley, California, on Sept. 27, 2023. While front-runner former President Donald Trump has announced his decision not to\u2062 attend, despite qualifying, the stage will still feature prominent figures such \u2062as Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, former Vice President Mike Pence, and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click\u200b here to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What unique qualities do Larry Elder,\u200b Perry \u2064Johnson, and Pastor Ryan \u2063Binkley bring to the\u200d table as dark horse candidates?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u2062St debate, these\u200c candidates are hoping \u200cto gain enough traction\u200c in their campaigns to secure a spot\u2063 in the second round of\u2064 debates and potentially become serious contenders for the GOP nomination.<\/p>\n<p>Larry Elder, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pence-says-us-does-not-need-to-choose-between-fixing-countrys-problems-and-supporting-ukraine\/\" title=\"Pence: US can address domestic issues and aid Ukraine simultaneously.\">conservative\u2064 radio host<\/a> and political commentator, has long been a prominent figure in conservative media.
