Preserve America, a pro-Trump super PAC, will air a TV and digital advertisement in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin as part of an eight-figure campaign that runs from the start of the Olympics until Labor Day. The ad, titled &#8220;Damage,&#8221; features Julie Ann Willoughby, an emergency room nurse and Republican State representative from Arizona, who discusses the impact of the border crisis on healthcare. In the ad, Willoughby claims she has witnessed firsthand &#8220;the damage that Kamala Harris caused as our country\u2019s borders czar,&#8221; stating that hospitals are overwhelmed and American patients are suffering as a result. She asserts that her patients are bearing healthcare costs for undocumented individuals while their own care is compromised and labels Harris as &#8220;weak and dangerous.&#8221; This advertisement marks another attack on Harris regarding her involvement in handling immigration issues at the southern border amid rising migrant numbers\u2014a significant political challenge for the Biden administration. Since President Biden endorsed Harris after his departure from office last month, she has largely avoided discussing her role in immigration policy but has begun to reference her previous experience prosecuting transnational gangs during rallies. Additionally, she highlights a bipartisan compromise bill related to border security that ultimately failed due to pressure from Trump allies in Congress. Preserve America was initially established during Trump&#8217;s 2020 reelection campaign and has been reactivated to support his bid for returning to office in 2024; this ad represents their third effort targeting Harris over border security issues. The group previously invested $100 million on advertising efforts supporting Trump in 2020 and is expected to surpass that amount this election cycle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2657,"featured_media":2321481,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Kamala-Harris-2024-August-scaled-1024x683.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[3811,4021,3634],"class_list":["post-2321480","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-border","tag-harris","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Kamala-Harris-2024-August-scaled-1024x683.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2321480","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2657"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2321480"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2321480\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2321481"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2321480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2321480"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2321480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
