Liberal super PAC expands ad buy attacking Trump's handling of COVID-19 in Pa., battleground states
The liberal super PAC Priorities USA says it’s pumping an extra $1 million into a $6.6 million ad campaign in Pennsylvania and two more 2020 battleground states.
The expanded buy comes in response to a $10 million campaign by the pro-Trump super PAC America First Action hitting ex-Veep Joe Biden. Like the Priorities USA campaign, the pro-Trump ads are airing in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, Politico reported.
In a statement, Priorities USA says it will begin airing a new spot, called “Better Prepared,” that contrasts “the chaotic failed leadership of Donald Trump with the strong, steady leadership of Vice President Joe Biden.”
That ad will run alongside an ad called “One Week Later,” that attacks Trump for downplaying the COVID-19 pandemic, even as the number of confirmed cases rose exponentially across the nation. Trump’s re-election campaign had previously threatened legal action against television stations that aired earlier Priorities USA ads.
