Congressional campaign ads targeting President Donald Trump appear to be off to an early start, with one candidate in California already asking voters: How do you stop a bully?
The TV ad, which the Los Angeles Times reportsfirst aired Monday, begins and ends with black-and-white close-ups of an angry Trump.
How do you stop a bully? Democratic candidate Sara Hernandezof Los Angeles says it takes a teacher like her. With lines reminiscent of Trumps outsider campaign message, however, she also emphasizes that shes not part of the establishment or special interests, and that shes been kicking real butt for the community. Take Trump back to school, the 30-second spot concludes.
Its too early in the game to know how well Hernandez, a lawyer who has worked as a city council aide and nonprofit head, will fare in the race for the 34th Congressional District. Twenty-three candidates are running for the position that opened up when Xavier Becerra became states attorney general.
The ad is likely a taste of things to come in the lead-up to Aprils primary race.
Fourth-term Rep.Mike Coffman(R-Colo.) wasthe first Republican in the nation to take on Trump with a paid advertisementbefore he even became president,Politico reported in August.
People ask me, What do you think about Trump? Coffman says at the start of the ad.Honestly, I dont care for him much. (He says the same about Hillary Clinton.)
The Iraq War vet adds: If Donald Trump is president, Ill stand up to him, plain and simple.
He offered the same ad in Spanish. Latinos make up some 20 percent of the 6th Congressional District, which includes suburban Denver. Coffman likely declared his stance early because his district tends to be hotly contested and Trump supporters could face an uphill battle, Politico notes.
But some of Coffmans constituents were angry last month when he and three other GOP representatives from Colorado backed steps to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, just the way Trump wanted them to.Coffman ducked out of a local meeting to findseveral frustrated voterswaiting to talk to him about the issue.
As for the rest of the country, campaigns will be heating up soon.
