Dramatic music plays in the background. A middle-aged man sporting protective glasses is shown walking across a manufacturing floor. Then he addresses the camera: “I’m working harder than ever just to pay the bills and provide for my family,” he says, with a caption saying he’s from Hales Corners, Wis. “But here’s what Kamala Harris thought my money should go to instead.”
The screen flashes to a side-by-side of Harris and a man in an orange jumpsuit walking out of a prison cell, as the voiceover says: “Job training for illegal immigrants, even after they commit crimes in America.” Then, a split screen of Harris and Biden next to a homeless veteran: “Hotel rooms for illegal immigrants while our vets sleep on the street.” The video then cuts to a split screen of Harris next to a man applying mascara: “Sex changes for illegal immigrants out of my pocket.”
“Seriously, have these people lost their mind?” the man says.
This 30-second spot is one of many brutal ads the pro-Trump super PAC Preserve America is running to try to tear down Kamala Harris’s image in swing states in the lead-up to Election Day. The group began running ads during the Olympics primarily in battleground Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. At the beginning of the cycle, Preserve America’s ads focused primarily on illegal immigration, but the group recently launched two new ads on the economy in Michigan and Wisconsin.
Preserve America is one of many GOP spending groups working to boost Trump in 2024. After spending $100 million during the 2020 cycle, the group has already surpassed that stunning spending goal this cycle, a source familiar with the matter confirms to National Review.
Here are some of the other battleground-state advertisements the group is running in this final stretch, one of which features testimony from a former Harris supporter whose opinion of the vice president changed “after an illegal alien murdered my son.”
