According to a Reuters report, Team Trump has launched a ten million dollar ad buy in battleground states targeting 2024 presumptive presidential opponent Kamala Harris. It’s Trump’s largest ad buy since January.
From Reuters:
Since President Joe Biden dropped out last week and endorsed Harris, she has rapidly consolidated support within the Democratic Party and from big-money donors. She has also sparked newfound energy among groups such as young voters that Biden had been struggling to win over.
After months of attacks on Biden’s fitness for office, Trump’s campaign has had to pivot to find a new message to use against the younger and more dynamic Harris, 59, less than 100 days until the Nov. 5 election.
On Monday, Trump, 78, released an ad on his Truth Social platform using Harris’s own words from old interviews, campaign events and debates to try to portray her as an extreme liberal out of touch with everyday Americans, particularly in the Rust Belt.
In response, Harris accused the Trump campaign of lying about her record.
“Vice President Harris has been a key leader in working across the aisle to pass the Biden-Harris administration’s historic, popular agenda,” said Harris spokesperson Sarafina Chitika.
A super PAC supporting Trump, MAGA Inc., kicked off a parallel ad blitz when it said last week it will spend $32 million in three states with new ads criticizing Harris.
Team Trump is also blasting Harris for her record on the border.
