DNC Blankets Mar-a-Lago with Ads to Ask One Question: "Why Won't Glenn Youngkin Let Trump Campaign

DNC Blankets Mar-a-Lago with Ads to Ask One Question: “Why Won’t Glenn Youngkin Let Trump Campaign in Virginia?”

The Democratic National Committee this weekend is airing a series of ads by land, air, and sea near Donald Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago to put one question in front of him — why won’t Glenn Youngkin let Trump come to Virginia to campaign for him?

In the wake of this week’s controversial campaign rally for Youngkin that Trump called into, the DNC brought a floating billboard to South Florida that highlights Trump’s endorsement of Youngkin and asks “Why won’t Glenn Youngkin let Trump campaign in Virginia?” Meanwhile, a mobile billboard with the same advertisement is also driving around Mar-a-Lago for five days, and a plane flew near the resort today with an ad asking a similar question. Images and photos of all the ads are copied below.

“Glenn Youngkin’s campaign strategy is to pray that he can adopt Donald Trump’s dangerous conspiracy theories, play footsie with Trump’s voters, and adopt the mantle of Trumpism without having to be seen with the worst-performing Republican presidential candidate in Virginia for over 70 years,” said DNC Chair Jaime Harrison. “But is Donald Trump comfortable getting played for a fool? We’re blanketing Mar-a-Lago with ads by land, air and sea because Donald Trump needs to answer one question: ‘Why won’t Glenn Youngkin let you campaign with him?’”

Trump has offered his full-throated endorsement to Youngkin repeatedly, including again at a Wednesday rally for Youngkin’s campaign where attendees notably pledged allegiance to a flag that was used at the January 6 insurrection. For his part, Youngkin has welcomed the endorsement, saying earlier in the campaign that Trump “represents so much of why I’m running.”

However, there is justice if TFG was subjected to these ads daily as an affirmation that he is a loser.

Maybe they should be telling Virginians of Youngkin's right wing T$umpist agenda. Driving TFG crazy is good, but it hasn't paid off thus far.

Chipping away at Trump's ego on a daily basis may still yield results. I'm trying to be the optimist before signing off.

We need tfg on the ground in VA to firmly tie the two together in the eyes of non zealot reds.

Nobody tells tfg where he is not allowed to go after all.

the popularity of the individual programs in the infrastructure bill.

Dems do better when they are seen as the more EFFECTIVE leaders.

How things go in states relies heavily on how things are going in DC. Especially in Virginia.
