The American People Take On Trump Directly in Innovative New Tom Steyer Ads Airing on Fox & Friends

Steyer will also debut another ad this week highlighting his two-year grassroots campaign calling for Trump’s impeachment

(San Francisco, October 9, 2019) — Presidential candidate for the Democratic nomination Tom Steyer launched two new ad campaigns showing there is nothing more powerful than the unified voices of the American people. 

The first ad campaign — “Talk to Trump” — will air over five days on Fox & Friends, each day showing a new set of American people raising their voices and telling Trump exactly what matters most to them, and how much he has failed them as president. The ads follow as Steyer’s campaign urged the American people to submit their videos addressing Trump last week, as part of an innovative way to give people the power to talk directly to Trump. The ad campaign points to a larger focus on Steyer’s presidential bid to give more power to the American people.

The second ad campaign, “The Right Thing”, highlights Steyer’s work in the last two years, vehemently calling for Trump’s impeachment, even when every candidate for president and career Washington politicians deemed it too soon because it was politically inconvenient. Steyer worked and advocated for what the majority of Americans agree on now — that this corrupt and lawless president must be held accountable for his litany of crimes, because it is the right thing to do. The ad will air in the early primary and caucus states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada. 

“Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in our nation’s history. When I called for his impeachment two years ago, Washington insiders and every candidate for president said it was too soon,” Steyer said in the ad. “I believed then, as I do now, that doing the right thing was more important than political calculations. And over 8 million people agreed. We proved that there is no challenge that Americans can’t meet when we work together.”

For two years, Steyer has called for Trump’s impeachment and built a grassroots movement of over 8.3 million supporters. Both ad campaigns follow Nancy Pelosi’s announcement that the House of Representatives will begin a formal impeachment inquiry last week.

New Tom Steyer Ad Campaign Gives Americans the Opportunity to Deliver a Message to Donald Trump

Airing on Fox & Friends, the ad will feature video submissions from the American people

(SAN FRANCISCO, September 30, 2019) — Democratic presidential candidate Tom Steyer has launched “Talk to Trump,” an innovative new ad campaign that gives the American people a chance to submit videos of themselves directly addressing Donald Trump. Some of the videos will air as television ads in the coming weeks on Fox & Friends, a place Trump is likely to see them. The ad campaign gives the American public a chance to raise their voices and tell Donald Trump exactly what matters most to them, and how much he has failed them as president. Steyer’s grassroots work and his presidential bid have focused on giving more power to the American people, and this effort is a new and innovative way to give people the power to talk directly to Trump.

For two years, Steyer has called for Trump’s impeachment and built a grassroots movement of over 8.3 million supporters. The ad campaign follows Nancy Pelosi’s announcement that the House of Representatives will begin a formal impeachment inquiry. 

“Trump should know how he’s failed you as president — whether that’s on health care, a living wage, gun violence, climate change, or something else entirely,” wrote Steyer’s campaign to supporters on Saturday. “It’s time Trump heard directly from the many, many people around the country who are hurting and frustrated because of his corrupt and cruel administration.”

Those interested in submitting videos are encouraged to record a short 25-second message and upload it directly on the website or from a mobile device, or email it to talktotrump@tomsteyer.com

The ad campaign will run in the days leading up to the October debate, as Steyer is set to appear on the debate stage for the first time. Steyer is also well on his way to making the debate stage in November, already surpassing the donor threshold requirement and receiving three qualifying polls in the last week.
