New Hillary for America Ads Focus on Economic Choice Voters Face in November
Ads Emphasize Clinton's '100 Days' Jobs Plan, Trump's Record of Outsourcing
Hillary for America is announcing today two new television ads set to air in critical general election states which focus on the economic choice voters face in November between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. The ads contrast Trump's record of making products overseas with Clinton's economic plans, which a new analysis finds, if implemented, would help the economy create at least ten million new jobs. Following Clinton's three-day jobs tour across Pennsylvania and Ohio with her running mate, Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia, the Democratic ticket will continue to emphasize this economic contrast in campaign events across the country.
The first ad, "Someplace," features footage of Trump listening as David Letterman reveals Trump's clothing products are made in Bangladesh and China. Trump responds to Letterman by saying, "It's good. We employ people in Bangladesh. They have to work, too." This ad underscores Trump's long record of outsourcing and manufacturing his products in at least 12 countries outside of the United States, a practice at odds with his vows to make America great. As Clinton has said, "If we’re going to make America great again, Donald Trump ought to start making things in America again."
The second ad, "How To," focuses on Clinton's plan to make the economy work for everyone by making corporations and those at the top pay their fair share in taxes and imposing an exit tax on companies that move overseas, using the revenues to make the largest investment in good-paying jobs since World War II.
These ads will run in battleground states starting this week.
