Outsider candidates and pot-stirring groups are planning debate-night TV ads
He wasn’t invited, but Seth Moulton wants to crash the first Democratic presidential primary debates.
Moulton is just one of several candidates and outside political groups seeking to elbow in on a captive audience of Democratic voters tuning in for the first major events of the 2020 campaign, offering them an unrivaled opportunity to reach the electorate on NBC, MSNBC and Telemundo this week. Joining Moulton on the airwaves around the debate is a fellow member of Congress, Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, who is launching her ad campaign this week on broadcast TV in the early states. But Gabbard’s advertising seeks to supplement her debate performance — she’ll be on the stage on Wednesday night.
Like Moulton, Montana Gov. Steve Bullock was denied a spot on the stage. But he’s seeking to counterprogram the debates in a different way: traveling to Iowa and New Hampshire and holding televised town-hall events in the hours leading up to the debates. Bullock’s town hall in Iowaon Des Moines’ NBC affiliate on Wednesday at 4 p.m. Central Time, ending just three hours before the start of the first debate.
