Taxpayers Fund Trump's 2024 Campaign Ad: GovBrief #605

The White House spent $319,000 of your money to run one of Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign ads during Sunday’s NFL games.

The 30-second spot is nearly identical to the one his campaign aired two years ago, black and white, Trump walking down a hallway while his voice promises a “final battle” against “globalists” and “warmongers.” The campaign version ended by asking viewers to join his fight. This one ends with “Paid for by the U.S. Government.” It is the third ad since Wednesday, and the White House calls all of them public service announcements.
