New Donald Trump TV Ads in Wisconsin & Minnesota

New Trump Ads in Wisconsin & Minnesota Blast Biden's Weakness in Face of Leftist Rioters

President Trump's re-election campaign today launched new television ads in Wisconsin and Minnesota blasting Joe Biden's failure to stand up to the radical left-wing rioters burning, looting, and terrorizing America's cities. The ads, titled 'Lawless,' expose Joe Biden's weakness in the face of leftist criminals and his submission to the anti-police wing of the Democrat Party. Only President Trump has consistently stood by our law enforcement officers to maintain law and order and to keep the American people safe.

The ads are part of a multi-state buy aimed at early-voting states. Voters in Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina will see other messaging defining Biden as a tool of the radical left.

Republican Party of Minnesota Statement on Vice President Pence in Duluth

Vice President Pence in Duluth

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Republican Party of Minnesota Chairwoman Jennifer Carnahan released the following statement:

"We are excited to have Vice President Mike Pence back in Minnesota to promote the great labor opportunities for our state and country. It is a geat message to Minnesota for the Vice President to touch upon the accomplishments and forward looking agenda for the administration in this important port city; the gateway to northern Minnesota and the Iron Range.

"This visit, the day after the Republican National Convention, shows just how 'in play' Minnesota is towards the President's re-election on November 3rd! The Trump campaign is going above and beyond to invest in our state and Make Minnesota Red.

"Minnesotans saw the difference between President Donald J. Trump and Basement Dweller Joe Biden over the past two weeks. The energy across our state is unmatched for the President and entire Republican ticket. The Vice President's visit will help keep that energy up from now until Election Day."

Mayors on the Iron Range of Minnesota Announce Their Endorsement of President Trump

As the Vice President Lands in Duluth, Mayors From Historically Democrat Strongholds on the Iron Range of Minnesota Announce Their Endorsement of President Trump

As Joe Biden and Kamala Harris embrace the socialist agenda of the radical left, Democrats and Democrat communities across America are abandoning their party's nominee and embracing President Donald J. Trump. As Vice President Pence travels to Duluth, Minnesota today, he promises that the Trump Administration will make every American more prosperous and secure. Voters across the country understand that we need a strong leader like President Trump to rebuild our country. Whether it be leaders in the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party or Mayors from Democrat strongholds, today’s endorsements from Minnesota's Iron Range highlight the growing support for President Trump's re-election campaign.

The letter from Mayor Larry Cuffe of Virginia, Minnesota, Mayor John Champa of Chisholm, Minnesota, Mayor Chuck Novak of Ely, Minnesota, Mayor Chris Swanson of Two Harbors, Minnesota, Mayor Robert Vlaisavljevich of Eveleth, Minnesota, and Mayor Andrea Zupancich of Babbitt, Minnesota reads:

"Lifelong politicians like Joe Biden are out of touch with the working class, out of touch with what the country needs, and out of touch with those of us here on the Iron Range and in small towns like ours across our nation. In this election, there is a lot at stake, but the biggest risk is our jobs, our economy, and our way of life. President Trump delivered the best economy in our nation’s history, and President Trump will deliver for us again. He will continue to fight for every American, regardless of party affiliation and continue to stand up for the working class."

 

Biden for President Statement on Vice President Pence’s Visit to Minnesota

Biden for President Statement on Vice President Pence’s Visit to Minnesota

Today, as Vice President Mike Pence travels to Duluth, Minnesota Biden for President Deputy Campaign Manager and Communications Director Kate Bedingfield released the following statement:

“Minnesotans who tuned into the Republican convention heard an endless parade of divisive rhetoric and fear-mongering -- but no strategy for getting control of a pandemic that has infected more than 72,000 Minnesotans and left too many without a job. President Trump and Vice President Pence, unable to make an affirmative case for their re-election, are now trying to change the subject and distract from their record of failing Minnesota and the country at a moment when many of our communities are hurting. We need a President and Vice President who can unite the country and provide real leadership -- from getting control of the virus, to building back our economy better than it was before, to rooting out systemic racism from our laws, policies, institutions, and hearts. That is what Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will do for Minnesotans, and that’s what’s at stake in this election.”

MNGOP Statement on President Trump's Speech

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Republican Party of Minnesota Chairwoman Jennifer Carnahan released the following statement:

"Today, as President Trump accepts our party's nomination and the RNC Convention comes to a close, voters are reminded of the clear choice they will make this November. I was honored to be in attendance as President Trump detailed how we will Keep America Great for another term. Now is a time for choosing and the choice is very clear. President Trump will fight for the people of this country and continue our Great American Comeback, while Biden's and the Democrats' out-of-touch policies will take us in a dangerous direction on a express pass to socialism and destruction of America as we know it."
