Running this week in Washington on TV and digital platforms (with the possibility of extending through the 2026 midterm cycle), the ad uses AI-generated imagery of a decaying &#8220;D.C.swamp&#8221; before cutting to radiant footage of Trump and a narrator praising his changes at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). The spot thanks Trump for restoring secret-<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/stacey-abrams-voting-rights-pac-helped-group-that-pushed-voter-fraud-conspiracy-theories\/\" title=\"Stacey Abrams\u2019 Voting Rights PAC Helped ...

CPAW &#8211; founded in 2021 by Republican operative Marc Short and closely tied to the Trump White House &#8211; is lead in part by Gene Hamilton, who also heads America First Legal. The group previously commissioned polling suggesting that rolling back a Biden-era NLRB rule could help Republicans in 2026.The piece notes the NLRB spent much of 2025 without a quorum but received new Senate-confirmed members in December 2025 and is expected to unwind parts of Biden&#8217;s labor agenda in 2026.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Conservative labor group launches new ad campaign targeting Trump and lawmakers directly<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2471685\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>EXCLUSIVE &mdash; <\/strong>A conservative labor group is targeting President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4414446\/trump-affordability-troubles-midterm-elections\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> and lawmakers directly, not voters, with a new advertising campaign, as both Republicans and Democrats fine-tune their messaging points ahead of the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2026-elections\/\">2026 midterm elections<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The ad campaign, paid for by the Coalition to Protect American Workers, will run this week in <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/washington-dc\/\">Washington<\/a> across television and digital platforms and could be extended across the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/analysis-joe-bidens-net-approvals-tank-in-battleground-states\/\" title=\"Analysis: Joe Biden&#039;s Net Approvals Tank in Battleground States\">midterm election cycle<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4415541\/trump-republican-criticism-powell-greenland\/\">Is Trump moving too fast for his own good?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4415255\/trump-returns-michigan-economic-credentials\/\">Trump urged to focus on &#8216;tomorrow&#8217;s paychecks,&#8217; not &#8216;yesterday&#8217;s grievances,&#8217; as he heads to Michigan<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4415557\/trump-25-percent-tariff-iran-business\/\">Trump imposes 25% tariff on any country doing business with Iran<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>The ad features artificially generated imagery of an exaggerated Washington swamp and crumbling federal buildings before cutting to brightly lit b-roll of Trump.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The D.C. swamp is hostile to American workers.
