The Democratic National Committee has recently released an advertisement campaign in newspapers throughout multiple swing states targeting former President Donald Trump. The advertisements labeled Trump as a “threat to our democracy”. The advertisements were strategically placed in several key swing states where the presumptive Republican nominee leads in the polls against President Joe Biden. The new approach to swaying voters’ opinions comes a little over a week since the first Presidential debate.
The advertisement campaigns from the DNC were released on Tuesday, which labeled former President Trump as a fraud, a liar, and even a “denier”. The key swing states where the advertisements will be placed are Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Arizona. The advertisements have made their way into some of the state’s biggest newspapers such as the Philadelphia Enquirer and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The advertisements seem to focus on the statements from Trump during the recent Presidential debate. The advertisements criticized Trump’s shutdown when he was asked if he would accept the results of the 2024 election if he were not to win. Trump responded that he would only accept the results if the election were “fair and legal”.
The DNC has used Trump’s recent statement to relate the scenario to Trump’s previous Presidential controversy where the former President was unsatisfied with the results of his 2020 election loss and was accused by many of inciting the infamous riot at the capitol building due to the election results in 2021.
The DNC’s ad campaigns come no more than a day after the Supreme Court recently ruled that all Presidents have absolute immunity for any actions or antics that fall in between the lines of core responsibilities and are presumptively immune from all other official acts. This is a positive for Trump, who can now use the new immunity ruling as a defense in his federal election subversion case, in which Trump was charged with trying to overturn the 2020 election.
