It's never too early to start priming voters for the general election and that's exactly why the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and iAmerica Action are releasing a new ad campaign Thursday targeting the GOP on the anniversary of President Obama's executive actions on immigration. Alan Rappeport has the details:
The ads will run in Spanish on Telemundo and Univision and during the Latin Grammy Awards on Thursday. The ads will also air in Nevada, Florida, Colorado and Texas through Sunday, and English versions will run online.
“These candidates may be different, but their messages are all the same,” the narrator says, as clips of Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, Jeb Bush and Mr. Trump flash across the screen. “We will not accept hate. We will not allow anti-immigrant attacks.”
The six-figure ad purchase also includes a Spanish-language spot urging Latino families to stand up to Republican policies.
Republicans are going to reap what they have sown on immigration in the general election. Every one of those states represents a place where Latino voters can have a significant impact on the election. SEUI has endorsed Hillary Clinton for president.
