This initial ad, part of a $50 million advertising strategy, is a minute-long video that not only reintroduces Harris but also targets her rival, former President Donald Trump. In the ad, titled &#8220;Fearless,&#8221; Harris emphasizes the focus of her campaign: \u201cThis campaign is about who we fight for,\u201d she states, incorporating excerpts from her speech at her recent rally in Milwaukee.
