By Michael Scherer Michael Scherer National political reporter covering campaigns, Congress and the White House Email Bio Follow March 22 at 7:07 AM Faced with the prospect of a long and divisive Democratic primary season, liberal groups are kick-starting the general election in targeted swing states with plans for paid advertising campaigns attacking President Trump’s economic record.
“I had to tell the people their jobs were going to Mexico. They were devastated. People lost their health care and their retirement,” Jones says. “Working people have got to fight back,” he concludes. “We are facing a long nominating process in our party, leaving a gaping hole that, if not filled, could set Trump up for a second term,” reads a fundraising pitch being circulated by American Bridge.
“They have to do this,” the person said. “No matter the party, no matter the election year, primaries have bruising consequences for every candidate.” The group oversaw Democratic digital spending in the 2018 midterm elections and hosts regular meetings with dozens of liberal groups to coordinate advertising and messaging. This year, Priorities will start a separate meeting to coordinate press operations of outside groups, especially in the key swing states, with the goal of pushing news coverage critical of Trump.
The American Bridge program, which is still being developed, envisions separate paid advertising and public relations efforts by local messengers focused on working class, exurban and rural voters in the three targeted Midwestern states, and possibly Florida. The plan includes an emphasis on rural radio advertising.
Reducing your entire party into a wall. Y'all seriously need to regroup & stop being in the way I was told progress is part of your alleged principles....carry on.
😂😂😂what has changed? It’s all they have been doing since 11/16!!!! TDS Libel resistTHIS
I'm pretty sure the anti-Trump campaign efforts have been going on for at least 3 years now.
Good. Keep it up and good things will happen in 2020.
That's fine, but as we saw in 2004 and 2012, simply being anti-President is not enough.
Gee, you mean Trump can't win on: 5 million new jobs Lowest unemployment for minorities in decades Tax cuts for everyone Prison reform Squishing ISIS Free speech for all on college campuses Working on new trade deals to benefit US Border security for citizens of US
Yes, we're anti-Trump because we stand for democracy, rule of law, human rights, anti-corruption, pro-constitution, pro-equality, pro-environment, pro-workers rights, pro liberty instead of fascism. ETC
Good indeed
Vote Blue so we can start putting people out of work again. This record number of Americans working is shameful. Let's get unemployment up to 7%.
