DNC rolls out ad campaign in swing state newspapers calling Trump ‘a threat to our democracy’
SUMMARY
The Democratic National Committee launched an ad campaign targeting Donald Trump in key swing states, branding him as a “fraud,” “liar,” and “threat to our democracy.” The ads highlight Trump's response during last week's debate where he said he would accept the 2024 election results “if it’s a fair and legal and good election.” This campaign follows the Supreme Court ruling that presidents have absolute immunity for core official acts, which strengthens Trump's defense in his federal election subversion case related to the 2020 election and January 6 Capitol events. Trump supporters view this ruling as a validation of presidential authority, while critics, including Biden, caution it sets a “dangerous precedent,” potentially reducing presidential accountability.
