The Democratic Party has unveiled an extensive advertising campaign for Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. According to the Democratic National Committee (DNC), the initiative features over 70 billboards across key battleground states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. These billboards mark the campaign's first significant paid advertising effort since Walz joined the ticket and aim to amplify the message in crucial urban areas like Atlanta, Detroit, Charlotte, and Philadelphia.
The advertisements are strategically placed along major highways such as Interstate 95 and Interstate 10, with bilingual billboards on the Las Vegas strip. DNC rep Abhi Rahman stated that the advertising blitz aims to communicate Harris and Walz's commitment to the working class while contrasting it with the agenda of Donald Trump and JD Vance, who he claims "are only out for themselves." This move follows the Harris-Walz ticket's fundraising boom; they are reported to have gathered $310 million in July, leaving them with $377 million.
This advertising push comes on the heels of Harris and Walz's tour through battleground states, though their North Carolina stop was stalled due to Tropical Storm Debby. Meanwhile, Trump's running mate JD Vance held press conferences in the same cities following Harris and Walz, while Trump himself held a rally in Montana. Trump's campaign also launched TV ads at the end of July highlighting Harris' immigration record. (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot. Source: the AP)
