Ad copy

We have breaking news out of Iowa: Donald Trump is trying to do damage control here because he knows his poll numbers are dropping. Iowans see rising prices everywhere we go, and Donald Trump and Ashley Hinson's policies are making it worse. Their tariffs are making life more expensive for everybody, and they cut $1 trillion from Medicaid and food assistance that hundreds of thousands of Iowans rely on. If you’re ready for a change, please consider supporting our campaign today.

Standout elementImage failed to load — ad relies entirely on text copy attacking Trump and Hinson on tariffs and Medicaid cuts
TacticThe copy uses a 'breaking news' hook to create urgency, then pivots to economic pain and healthcare cuts before issuing a fundraising ask, layering fear and anger to motivate donations.
