Trump made 'America first' in coronavirus deaths, charges Democratic super PAC ad
The largest Democratic super PAC is releasing a new ad in key battleground states using President Trump’s campaign slogan to say he made “America first” in coronavirus deaths.
“Donald Trump said he would put America first and now he has,” the narrator in the Priorities USA ad states over footage of Trump at his daily coronavirus briefings.
“The United States leads the world in coronavirus cases. More than 50,000 Americans dead, twice as many deaths as any other country. Over 26 million people have lost their jobs and it’s only getting worse. Downplaying the threats, ignoring the experts, refusing to prepare. Donald Trump is failing America,” it states.
More people have died from COVID-19 in the U.S. than in any other country, although health officials are deeply skeptical of the number of deaths reported by the government in China, where the disease originated.
On a per capita basis, European countries have experienced a far worse death toll, with Belgium experiencing 15.4 deaths per 100,000, followed by France at 14.1, Italy at 13.5, and the United Kingdom at 13. 4. The U.S. mortality rate per 100,000 people is at 5.7 percent, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
The Priorities USA ad will run in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, and is part of an existing $65 million ad reservation that extends between now and Election Day. All told, Priorities USA has a budget of about $200 million to defeat Trump and elect former Vice President Joe Biden in November.
