Progressive group releases ad hitting Republicans over voting by mail opposition
A prominent progressive group released a television ad Wednesday hitting Republicans over their opposition to expanding mail-in voting.
The video from the Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC), titled “If it’s good enough for Trump,” features President Trump’s remarks that he can vote by mail despite his unsubstantiated warnings that the method is susceptible to fraud and includes testimonies from frustrated Wisconsin voters who had to vote in person in the state’s primary last week.
“I don't think people should be voting today. People are dying!” one Wisconsinite says in the 30-second clip.
“If this is what the Republicans will do in Wisconsin, just imagine what they'll do in November,” says a narrator before adding that “President Trump voted by mail as recently as last month.”
The ad will be aired on MSNBC, Fox News and CNN, as well as local outlets in Kentucky, the home state of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R).
The PCCC did not clarify how much money went into producing the ad, saying only that the scale of the initial buy, scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, could be boosted depending "on the success of online fundraising."
