Trump's racially charged Minnesota and Wisconsin TV ads focus on the violent aftermath of the police killing of George Floyd and the shooting of Jacob Blake.
President Trump resumed television advertising after the Republican National Convention with two racially charged commercials airing in Minnesota and Wisconsin, battleground states racked by social upheaval after recent violent police encounters with Black men.
The ad Trump is airing in neighboring Wisconsin highlights demonstrators last month in Kenosha hurling debris and fireworks at police in riot gear after an officer in the small city outside Milwaukee shot another Black man, Jacob Blake, seven times in the back in front of his three children. Blake, who was paralyzed from the waist down, remains hospitalized.
Story continues"Fires are burning, and we have a president who fans the flames," Biden says in the spot."He can't stop the violence, because for years he's fomented it." Trump's new ads have run more than 1,800 times over the last week in Minneapolis, Rochester and Duluth in Minnesota and in Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, La Crosse and Wausau in Wisconsin, according to Advertising Analytics, an ad tracking firm. The wide reach suggests that rural and small-town voters are as much a target as those in the suburbs. Facebook variations of the ads have been viewed overwhelmingly by men, according to the social media company.
Anna Greenberg, a Democratic pollster, is skeptical about the effectiveness of Trump's approach, especially with suburban women. They want"calm and order," she said, but see Trump as contributing to chaos. His effort to reap political gain from the racial turmoil over Floyd's killing recalled his attempts in 2016 to tap into white voters' discomfort with the tens of thousands of Somali immigrants in the Minneapolis area.
