American Bridge Launches Ad Campaign on Trump & Senate Republicans' Plans to Cut Medicare & SS

https://americanbridgepac.org/american-bridge-launches-5-state-ad-campaign-on-trump-senate-republicans-plans-to-cut-medicare-social-security/

The ad campaign, called “Stealing From Us,” will run in Maine, Iowa, Arizona, Colorado, and North Carolina

Sens. Collins, Ernst, McSally, Gardner, and Tillis all support stealing from Medicare and Social Security to pay for tax cuts for their wealthy donors

American Bridge is launching a 5 state ad campaign today targeting Republican Senators for supporting Donald Trump’s plan to cut Medicare and Social Security if he wins another term. The ads come after Trump doubled down on cutting the programs last week, when he said in a town hall “oh we’ll be cutting.” Senators Susan Collins, Joni Ernst, Martha McSally, Cory Gardner, and Thom Tillis all voted for the Republican tax law that threatened Medicare and Social Security to give their wealthy donors a massive tax cut. Now, if they win re-election, they’ll join Trump in stealing from Medicare and Social Security to pay for it.

The statewide digital ads will run on Facebook in Maine, Iowa, Arizona, Colorado, and North Carolina and are targeted to seniors and nonpartisan voters.

“Republican Senators gave their wealthy campaign donors a massive tax cut, and now they are coming after Medicare and Social Security to pay for it,” said American Bridge spokesperson Zach Hudson. “Susan Collins, Joni Ernst, Martha McSally, Cory Gardner, and Thom Tillis all voted for the Republican tax law that paved the way for these cuts. They’ll now have to explain to their constituents why they are stealing from Medicare and Social Security to reward their wealthy friends.”
