Harris Targeted in Tough Ad on Key Issues
In a bold move, Senator Rick Scott, a Republican from Florida, has launched a scathing new ad targeting Vice President Kamala Harris, linking her to various pressing issues plaguing the United States. The seven-figure TV ad, titled “She Did That,” cleverly plays off Harris’ exuberant statement to President Biden in November 2020: “We did it, Joe. You’re going to be the next President of the United States.”
Scott seizes on this moment to draw attention to the current state of affairs, bluntly pointing out the adverse impact felt by Americans since Biden and Harris assumed office. “Yep, they did it alright. Now everything is more expensive,” Scott laments, highlighting the concerning rise in inflation during the Biden administration.
The ad cuts to footage of Harris repeating her emphatic “We did it” as Scott brings into focus images of campus protests sparked by the conflict between Israel and Hamas. “Yep, now protesters are chanting ‘Death to America’ and burning our flag,” Scott asserts, segueing into the plight at the southern border. “They gave money, housing, and health care to criminals bringing drugs into our country,” he accuses.
With resolve in his voice, Scott declares, “I’m Rick Scott, they did it, we’re going to undo it.” The ad’s powerful messaging is set to reach audiences across Florida, targeting every media market, in a bid to resonate with voters disenchanted by the current administration’s policies.
Scott’s campaign further emphasizes his commitment to combatting what they perceive as the destructive socialist agenda of the Biden-Harris administration. “Senator Scott is fighting to undo the destruction caused by the Biden-Harris administration and is leading the charge to hold them accountable for their multitude of failures,” his campaign affirms.
This ad underscores the growing efforts by Republicans to associate Harris with the policies implemented by the Biden administration, underscoring her role as vice president. Harris has notably been tasked with addressing the root causes of migration, earning her the epithet of “border czar” by Republicans since 2021.
Despite the pushback on the “border czar” title, Harris’ campaign emphasizes the administration’s accomplishments, such as a robust economy and a notable decrease in encounters at the southern border. Harris champions a vision for the future that includes affordable housing, healthcare, and childcare, as well as initiatives to reduce the cost of living for American families.
As the political landscape continues to heat up, with the 2024 election looming on the horizon, the adversarial stance taken by Senator Rick Scott serves as a poignant reminder of the deep-seated ideological divisions within the country. The clash between Democrats and Republicans, embodied by figures like Kamala Harris and Rick Scott, underscores the high stakes involved in shaping the future trajectory of the nation.
