President Donald Trump is touting the strength of the U.S. economy in a new Super Bowl ad.
The Trump campaign released the 30-second advertisement on Thursday, ahead of the National Football League (NFL) championship game on Sunday.
The advertisement, titled “Stronger, Safer, More Prosperous,” is one of two that will air during the Super Bowl. The other commercial will air for the first time during the game.
“Just as the Super Bowl crowns the greatest football team, nothing says ‘winning’ like President Donald Trump and his stellar record of accomplishment for all Americans,” Trump’s campaign manager Brad Parscale said in a press release.
Parscale added, “With an incredible economy, historically low unemployment, and a policy of putting America first, President Trump is most certainly Keeping America Great.”
The clip shows Trump winning the 2016 presidential election and touts the wage growth, as well as the unemployment rate for African-American, Asian American, and Hispanic American hitting a record-low.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the best is yet to come,” Trump is heard saying in the video.

Additionally, 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful Michael Bloomberg is set to have a campaign commercial air during the Super Bowl. His 60-second commercial focuses on gun control, as IJR reported.
“People will be rooting for different teams in the Super Bowl, but virtually all Americans – including people in both parties and a majority of gun owners – support universal background checks and other common sense gun laws,” Bloomberg said in a statement.

Despite the steep price, Trump and Bloomberg will fight for the attention of those watching Sunday’s football game.
Having a commercial in this year’s line-up costs $5.6 million for 30-seconds, and the two are each spending $10 million each.
This will be the first time since at least 1989 that two political campaign advertisements will air nationally during the Super Bowl, as USA Today reported.
