Republican political newcomer Vivek Ramaswamy’s presidential campaign has begun rolling out more money for television ads in Iowa this week despite Ramaswamy’s claim that spending money on TV ads is “idiotic.”

Ramaswamy’s campaign has doled out $22,500 to reserve air time in Iowa this week so far, a fraction of what other presidential contenders have reserved, but it comes after the Republican slammed the practice in a social media post last month.
