Senate races aren't the only down-ballot contests a Clinton Super PAC is eyeing these days. Now Priorities USA has funded an ad for an Iowa House race in which Democrat Monica Vernon is working to unseat GOP Rep. Rod Blum. The polls weren't looking good for Vernon earlier this month, but the race is still considered a toss up. Nothing like a little presidential firepower to shake things up. Paul Kane writes:
Priorities USA, an independent group designed primarily to elect Clinton, is now funding a 30-second ad in Iowa that has the double effect of hitting Trump for his controversial statements and tagging freshman Rep. Rod Blum (R) for his continued support of his party’s presidential nominee.
“Send me back to Congress, and you send Donald Trump to the White House,” Blum says at a campaign rally in the 30-second ad, after an array of controversial Trump statements appear on the screen. “Rod Blum still supports Trump today and even attacked Republicans who spoke out against Trump,” the narrator says.
All these Clinton ads are twofers that both remind voters of how rancid Trump is while counting on him to sink all his GOP supporters like a bag of cement. Priorities USA has already posted similar themed ads about GOP Sens. Kelly Ayotte and Pat Toomey, but the ad targeting Blum is the group's first foray into the House. House Majority PAC is also taking aim at Blum with more of an issues-based ad.
Blum will be getting back up from Trump... Nix that. Trump just snubbed the GOP by ending his high-dollar fundraisers for the party. That's what you get when you nominate a raging narcissist who's taking all his marbles and going home in advance of getting thrashed at the polls by a woman.
Watch the Priorities USA ad below.
