Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is hitting the airwaves for the first time since winning the GOP nod last month.
The 30-second spot, titled, “Two Americas: Immigration,” has begun airing in several key battleground states, including Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Florida. The Trump campaign is spending $4.8 million—the first such expenditure since it began accepting donations just before the Republican National Convention—to run the ad for the next 10 days.
According to a press release announcing the ad’s release, it “illustrates one of many important contrasts between Mr. Trump and Hillary Clinton and highlights an issue, which has been a cornerstone of Mr. Trump’s candidacy, strongly resonating with millions of Americans over the last year.”
The ad release further cements a very strong week for Mr. Trump and the campaign, in which he delivered a definitive message laying out his vision for defeating radical Islamic terrorism and restoring law and order in front of enthusiastic crowds, while also previewing next week’s campaign focus: ending the unfair practice of illegal immigration.
The new ad provides a stark comparison between Hillary Clinton’s reality in which Americans are victims of the rigged system in Washington that compromises our borders, jeopardizes our jobs, and flouts our laws, and Mr. Trump’s vision for our country in which we secure our borders and put American jobs and safety first.
The Trump campaign also released a transcript of the ad:
In Hillary Clinton’s America: The system stays rigged against Americans, Syrian refugees flood in, illegal immigrants convicted of committing crimes get to stay, collecting Social Security benefits, skipping the line, our border open—it’s more of the same, but worse.
Donald Trump’s America is secure. Terrorists and dangerous criminals: kept out. The border: secured. Our families: safe. Change that makes America safe again.
