If you live in a crucial swing state, prepare to be afraid. The Harris-Walz campaign is launching a barrage of ads Wednesday painting Donald Trump as a vengeful despot who would wield “extreme and dangerous” power in a second term.
Until Election Day on Nov. 5, the campaign said, voters in battleground states “will hear every single day about the existential danger Trump’s Project 2025 agenda poses to American democracy, freedom, and the middle class.”
The spotlight ad, titled “Control,” features Trump himself saying he will “wield that power very aggressively.” Democrats say that means Trump would target his political rivals, fire civil servants, slash social safety net programs like Medicare and Social Security and allow states to monitor women’s pregnancies.
