Anti-Trump group pours nearly $12 million into presidential race – Washington Examiner
The article discusses a significant advertising campaign initiated by the group ”Republican Voters Against Trump,” which has invested nearly $12 million to oppose Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential race. Announced on a Tuesday morning, this campaign marks their largest effort to date, featuring ads in key swing states aimed at highlighting voters who have shifted their support away from Trump. The ads include testimonials from former Trump supporters now endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris.
The targeted states for this ad blitz include Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District. Pennsylvania receives the most funding, with $4.5 million allocated, followed by Michigan with $3 million and Wisconsin with $2.2 million. Arizona and Nebraska will receive $1.5 million and $375,000, respectively. This strategic spending underscores the group’s goal of appealing to crucial voter demographics as the race intensifies leading up to the election.
Anti-Trump group pours nearly $12 million into presidential race
Republican Voters Against Trump announced an $11.5 million ad blitz Tuesday morning in several swing states as the post-Labor Day sprint to Election Day gears up.
This nearly $12 million campaign against former President Donald Trump marks the largest ad blitz for the anti-Trump group to date and will feature ads and billboards of voters who are no longer supporting Trump.
A 30-second ad features testimonials from these supporters who have defected from the GOP and are now supporting Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign.
Voters in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District are the target of the ad blitz. In the top battleground state of Pennsylvania, which Harris must win to ensure victory in November, the group will spend $4.5 million on the ad buy.
In Michigan, the group will spend $3 million, and in Wisconsin, $2.2 million will be spent. Republican Voters Against Trump will also spend $1.5 million in Arizona and $375,000 in Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District. President Joe Biden won one of its electoral votes in the 2020 election.
Nebraska awards two Electoral College votes to the state popular vote winner and one electoral vote to the popular vote winner in each of its three congressional districts, unlike how the majority of states award electoral votes.
“Donald Trump has destroyed the Republican Party,” said Sarah Longwell, executive director of the group, in a statement. “And every election cycle, he drives more and more Republicans to vote for Democrats because they believe Donald Trump and the GOP candidates who imitate him are unfit for office.”
The Harris campaign has made overtures to feature disaffected Republicans in its voter outreach. At the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last month, former GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger was one of the most prominent Republicans to speak onstage, as did Stephanie Grisham, a former Trump White House press secretary.
Republican Voters Against Trump has poured six-figure contributions in its efforts to prevent Trump from a second presidency.
In March, the group featured former Vice President Mike Pence’s refusal to support Trump for a second time in a digital ad that ran in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
