Trump Launches $12 million ad campaign against Harris

The Trump campaign’s first $12 million ad flight targeting Harris goes live in six swing states this morning, and it’s all about the border — tagging the VP as “failed, weak, dangerously liberal.”

“Under Harris, over 10 million illegally here.

A quarter of a million Americans dead from fentanyl.

Brutal migrant crimes. And ISIS — now here,” the voiceover says, cutting to footage from Harris’widely panned 2021 interview with NBC’s Lester Holt, where she scoffs at a question about visiting the border.

The new offensive suggests that, after a week of scrambling to find the best message for attacking Trump’s new rival, his campaign admakers are sticking with the tried-and-true.

What’s conspicuously not included are suggestions that she’s a “DEI hire,” allegations she covered up Biden’s mental state, clips of her laughing, mentions of Venn diagrams or any of the other attacks that have gone viral among the MAGA faithful but do little to move the needle among a broader audience.

“The Harris campaign will rebut most of Republicans’ attacks by arguing that they are exaggerating or lying about her record,” Epstein continued, later quoting Harris campaign spokesman BRIAN FALLON arguing that Harris’ “years spent in law enforcement and her record in the Biden-Harris administration defy Trump’s attempts to define her through lies.”
