Former President Donald Trump has reserved millions of dollars in airtime for ads to support his endorsed candidates in the upcoming midterm elections, just one month before Election Day, according to a recent report by FOX 5 Atlanta.

The new ads paid for by the Trump super PAC are set to begin airing over the next few days in Nevada, Georgia and Arizona, according to the ad tracking firm Medium Buying, which notes the group is already airing ads in Pennsylvania and Ohio, home to two of the most hotly contested Senate races in the country.

This comes on the heels of a continuous tease by Trump for another presidential run. In a Warren, Michigan rally earlier this month, FOX 5 reports the former president said they will be talking about the possibility in the “not so distant future.”

"Oh, I think you’re going to be happy," he said at the rally "But first we have to win a historic victory for the Republican Party this November."

The ads paid for the Trump Super Pac set to air in Georgia in the coming days do not mention GOP Senate candidate Herschel Walker by name, but rather focus on democratic incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock, attempting to cast him and his party as “too extreme” to effectively govern. 

Walker's campaign has been rocked by controversy, including allegations that he encouraged and paid for an ex-girlfriend’s 2009 abortion before launching his campaign on a platform calling for a national ban on abortion, including in cases where of rape, incest or when the health of a pregnant woman is at risk.

According to an article by the Daily Beast, the woman said she was involved in a years-long relationship with Walker. According to the report, Walker has publicly acknowledged the child as his own and the woman involved has provided proof that she was in a long-term relationship with Walker and the mother of his child.
