A super-PAC backing Senator Marco Rubio's bid for the Republican presidential nomination dropped an additional $700,000 into advertisements in Florida ahead of the state's March 15 primary.

Conservative Solutions PAC, which has been attacking front-runner Donald Trump, opened up a new front against Ohio Governor John Kasich, who has competed with Rubio for the support of the party establishment. The group already poured an estimated $3.79 million into Florida TV and radio commercials through March 7, according to Kantar Media's CMAG, which tracks political commercials.
