Vulnerable Dem Senators 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.

“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.”

Trump said in September that he would place 200% tariffs on John Deere products if the company relocated its manufacturing to Mexico, and he also previously slammed China for placing tariffs on U.S. goods in August 2019. President Joe Biden announced in April that he would raise tariffs on electric vehicles (EVs) imported into the U.S. from China, despite criticizing the policy during his presidential campaign in 2020.
