Trump reelection campaign readying first major ad campaign

Source: The Hill

A Trump campaign official confirmed to The Hill that the campaign is dropping seven figures on a national ad spree “praising the President’s management of the coronavirus crisis.”

Trump and White House officials have become increasingly bullish about his administration’s response to the coronavirus and the ensuing recovery, which have become the cornerstone of the 2020 race.

The new ads mark a reversal for the Trump campaign, which had resisted going on the airwaves in part to avoid the perception that it was seeking to politicize the coronavirus crisis. However, GOP officials appeared alarmed in recent days over early warnings signs about Trump’s reelection prospects.

After the president enjoyed an initial polling bounce, recent surveys have shown a noticeable drop in both Trump’s overall approval rating and voters’ approval of his handling of the pandemic, which has infected over a million people in the country.

Senior White House adviser Jared Kushner said on Fox News on Wednesday that “a lot of the country should be back to normal” by June and “really rocking again” by July, adding that the federal response was a “great success story.”

Have a production team ready at the go. Stay up all night if you have to with the counter ad. Like you said, point by point. Get it out the very next day. And run those on the exact same media outlets that Trump's ran his on a day earlier. You just KNOW it will be chalk full of lies. So don't allow those lies to fester for even a day.

Just correcting a little typo there.

I hope Turd really does run on his COVFEFE-19 record; it'll sink him for sure.

All he's done since the (tiny) inauguration has been campaign to get reelected. I seem to remember his one of his first official acts was to register his reelection campaign so he could raise funds.
