Dem Nominees Suddenly Praising Trump’s Policies In Ads As Senate Races Tighten

Several Democratic Senate candidates praised some of former President Donald Trump’s policies in advertisements as the 2024 campaign nears its end.

Democratic Sens. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania and Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin as well as Michigan Rep. Elissa Slotkin have all recently launched new political ads promoting Trump-era policies. A recent advertisement from Baldwin promotes policies aimed at increasing the use of American materials for domestic infrastructure projects.

Slotkin and her Republican opponent Mike Rogers have been locked in a close race in Michigan. The two Senate candidates are competing in a tossup state, according to an Oct. 9 poll from Quinnipiac.

Casey is leading by 3.8 points in Pennsylvania against Republican David McCormick, according to RealClearPolling. In Wisconsin, Baldwin is ahead by 2.7 points against Republican opponent Eric Hovde, according to RealClearPolling.

“We can’t let China steal Wisconsin jobs, so I wrote a law to require American infrastructure projects use American iron and steel,” Baldwin narrates in the ad.

“Tammy Baldwin got President Trump to sign her Made in America bill,” the ad said. “And then, she got President Biden to make it permanent.”
