For the first time in his campaign, Donald Trump said he plans on running television ads in crucial early-voting states.

On Fox News Tuesday night, Trump told Sean Hannity that over the next two days, his campaign will start running ads in Iowa, New Hampshire, and probably South Carolina. His Republican opponents have aired spots against him, something Trump argues is a mistake. "Anyone that hits me, we're going to hit them 10 times harder," he said. "We have more money than anybody else by a factor of about a thousand."
