What does it mean?
down-ballot races
THE CONTEXT:
In addition to cancelling his appearance with Trump, Putin, who had been expected to spend thirty-one million rubles, or roughly five million dollars, on Trump campaign ads, is pulling those funds and will instead “focus on down-ballot races,” the statement said.

'Down-ballot' are the Senators, Representatives, and Govenors of the states. In other words, every office below the presidency.

Hi,
In the US, we don't just vote for president. We vote for president, senators, congressmen, governors, state senators & congressmen, state offices, county officers, and city officers all at once. For example, in my area, I will vote on 25 different offices.
The president comes first (at the top of the ballot). The rest of the offices are listed after that (or further down on the ballot). So everything other than president is a "down ballot" race.
