New Harris campaign ad highlights 'prosecutor' debate comments

Harris' campaign released an ad Saturday highlighting her pledge during the debate to put Americans first, regardless of party, and sought to contrast it with some of former President Trump's comments.

of 30-second adThe article, first shared by The Hill, featured an exchange from Tuesday's debate in which Harris claimed Trump was “more interested in taking care of himself than he is in taking care of you.”

The ad, titled “The Prosecutor,” then cuts to Trump's comments at a rally earlier this year, where he quipped to attendees, “I don't care about you guys, I just want your vote.”

“As a prosecutor, I have never asked a victim or a witness if they were a Republican or a Democrat,” Harris said during a debate exchange featured in a new ad. “The only thing I asked them was, 'Are you OK?' And that's exactly the kind of president we need right now – someone who cares about you and doesn't put himself first.”

The ad will run on digital platforms across battleground states and is part of the campaign's $370 million paid media campaign that will run through Election Day.

The ad is the fourth released by the campaign since Harris and Trump debated on Tuesday, and the campaign said Harris hopes to build momentum for the debate through new ads, visits to battleground states and interviews with local media.

The vice president repeatedly tried to get on Trump's nerves, often successfully, as the former president went off on tangents about the size of the crowd, Biden and a conspiracy theory that immigrants had kidnapped pets in an Ohio town.

Harris' campaign almost immediately called for a second debate between the two candidates, but Trump said he would not take part in another debate.

A CNN early poll found that 63% of debate viewers said Ms Harris won Tuesday's debate, compared with 37% who said Mr Trump won. Several polls released Thursday showed Ms Harris widening her lead over Mr Trump nationally.

Trump cited several social media polls, including one posted by C-SPAN, showing him to be more popular than Harris, and a Trump campaign poll found that Trump's approval rating rose by two points during the debate, while Harris' approval rating remained stable in battleground states.
