I'm sitting at a hair salon with the radio playing and there have been 3 Harris ads so far, nothing from Trump.
I haven't seen any banner ads or streaming ads for him either.
I know this is all anecdotal, but seriously: Where are Trump's campaign ads? They seem absent from the normie space.
EDIT: this is in a battleground state where he definitely needs his ads playing.
Will those ads reach anyone he can persuade to vote for him?
Ads aren’t to convince voters. They’re to activate your voter base.
Politics is a turnout game. Not a “who has the best argument” game unlike what the media would have you believe
100% yes. there are a lot of people who are tuned out, and if all they hear are the occasional lie over the radio from kamala, they won't have any reason to vote for Trump. they might even be scared into voting against him.
he needs to be playing counter ads so that the normies at least realize that not everything they hear on the radio is correct.
I know of a local Harris supporter who has a 20 foot "STOP PROJECT 2025" sign on her lawn.
There is literally no mechanism to reach some of these people, and yes, they are just there to be activated.
there will always be the hardliners, but I'm just talking about the normal people going about their business. the people who don't pay attention, or don't like to talk about it.
