Both parties are featuring mask-wearing in their pandemic-era TV ads, especially in the suburbs, even though Trump has largely gone without
But the strict boundaries of pandemic politics in the presidential race don’t translate down-ballot, with candidates, at times, appearing to use them to get distance from the national party brand in ads that discuss coronavirus.
“Republicans in those suburban districts are really trying to hang on and appeal to those college-educated voters who are skeptical of the GOP, so they’re finding a way to be pro-mask without it being heavy-handed,” said Rob Stutzman, a Republican consultant based in California. “This is the ultimate test for figuring out how in touch a candidate is with their district.”
“If there’s a Democrat in a Trump district who is not wearing a mask, there was strategic thought put into that, and if a Republican is wearing one in a blue-leaning seat, there’s strategy in that, too, because ads are the most expensive, well-crafted parts of the campaign,” said John Del Cecato, a Democratic ad-maker.
