0:43Now PlayingTrump and billionaire candidate Tom Steyer are both running expensive ads #DemDebate.
Donald Trump won’t be on stage for the two nights of the Democratic presidential debate in Detroit, but he’s not missing the opportunity to take shots at the candidates.
The president’s re-election campaign will air a 30-second attack ad on Tuesday and Wednesday that opens with 10 Democrats, including Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris, raising their hands when asked if their health care plans would cover undocumented immigrants. The question was asked during the first debate in Miami on June 27.
The ad also criticizes Democratic candidates for supporting “socialized medicine” that would eliminate private insurance. It ends with the line, “They’re all the same.”
The 30-second spot will air on MSNBC and Fox News Channel and CNN, the network that is sponsoring the debate.
Democratic presidential candidate Tom Steyer won’t be on stage in Detroit Tuesday night, but CNN viewers tuning in to the second presidential debate will hear his message anyway.
Need to Impeach, a Steyer-funded advocacy group, bought air time for a 30-second ad to run on CNN and MSNBC before and after the Democratic primary debate, the organization said. Steyer doesn’t appear in the spot.
The new ad compiles some of the most damning clips from former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s House testimony last week about Russian interference and President Donald Trump’s obstruction: “Did you actually totally exonerate the president?” Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler asked. “No,” Mueller responded. “The campaign welcomed the Russian help, did they not?” asked Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff. “Yes,” Mueller said.
The billionaire hedge fund manager announced his candidacy July 9, too late to qualify for this week’s debates.
