Donald Trump is officially a drag and every Democratic candidate wants a piece of it. A new ad on behalf of California Democrat Emilio Huerta focuses on GOP Rep. David Valadao's vow to support the GOP nominee no matter what.
"Republican Congressman Valadao said he would 'absolutely' support Donald Trump," says the ad. It ties the two politicians to efforts to "slash education funding" and reminds voters that Trump doesn't think there's a drought in California.
Valadao has since switched his position in June, saying he could not support Trump based on his "divisive rhetoric." It must have occurred to him that Trump's angry racist campaign wasn’t going over so well in CA-21, which is about 72 percent Latino.
The ad, a collaboration between House Majority PAC and AFT Solidarity, is part of a nearly $400,000 ad buy in the Bakersfield and Fresno TV markets.
“Emilio Huerta is a lifelong fighter for hard-working Californians with a proven commitment to serving the needs of Central Valley families,” said House Majority PAC executive director Alixandria Lapp.
