(CNN) President Donald Trump 's campaign canceled its planned television advertising in Iowa and Ohio this week, focusing its spending on states where Trump is behind even as polls show he is neck-and-neck with Democratic challenger Joe Biden in the two Midwestern states. Trump's campaign canceled its ad reservations of $2.5 million in Ohio and $820,000 in Iowa this week, according to ad-tracking firm CMAG. Unlike Joe Biden, campaign ads aren't the only way we know how to campaign," Trump campaign spokeswoman Samantha Zager said. A loss in Ohio or Iowa would likely mean even larger losses in those states. He'll spend $1 million in Ohio and $565,000 in Iowa over the next week while Trump is off the airwaves there.
