Trump reelection campaign readying first major ad campaign
A Trump campaign official confirmed to The Hill that the campaign is dropping seven figures on a national ad spree praising the Presidents management of the coronavirus crisis.
Trump and White House officials have become increasingly bullish about his administrations response to the coronavirus and the ensuing recovery, which have become the cornerstone of the 2020 race.
The new ads mark a reversal for the Trump campaign, which had resisted going on the airwaves in part to avoid the perception that it was seeking to politicize the coronavirus crisis. However, GOP officials appeared alarmed in recent days over early warnings signs about Trumps reelection prospects.
After the president enjoyed an initial polling bounce, recent surveys have shown a noticeable drop in both Trumps overall approval rating and voters approval of his handling of the pandemic, which has infected over a million people in the country.
Senior White House adviser Jared Kushner said on Fox News on Wednesday that a lot of the country should be back to normal by June and really rocking again by July, adding that the federal response was a great success story.
