The DNC War Room released a new television ad today, “Tested Positive,” that highlights how, even after contracting the coronavirus, Trump continues to put lives at risk by ignoring experts and lying to Michiganders about the threat of the virus.

“Time and again, Donald Trump has knowingly put Michiganders at risk,” said DNC Chair Tom Perez. “He ignored the experts, lied about the severity of COVID-19, and failed to get the pandemic under control. Seven months into this crisis, he is still downplaying the virus and refusing to take action to protect Michiganders’ health, lives, and livelihoods. We deserve better than his failed, incompetent leadership.”

The ad will air starting this week in the Grand Rapids media market as part of a six-figure buy.

Today, the Democratic National Committee is announcing a new print ad campaign to reach Latino voters in North Carolina.

“Latino communities across North Carolina have a critical voice in this election — that’s why we are reaching out directly to these voters and ensuring they have the tools they need to make their plan to vote,”  said Democratic National Committee Chair Tom Perez. “We have seen how this administration’s failed response to the pandemic has disproportionately impacted the lives and livelihoods of Latinos in our country. Under Trump, Latinos have experienced more than 42,000 deaths due to COVID-19, millions of jobs lost under his recession, and the erosion of America’s values as a nation of immigrants. We must vote for leaders who will work to help our communities. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will be those leaders.”

Part of a six-figure campaign across several battleground states, the print ads will run starting this week in Hola Noticias and La Noticia, reaching voters across the Charlotte, Asheville, Greensboro, and Raleigh media markets.

The ads, which were purchased through NAHP Media, will direct individuals to VoyAVotar.com — the DNC’s newly updated voter participation hub in Spanish, where voters can register to vote, check their voter registration, and make a plan to vote, whether in person or by mail.

This ad campaign follows the recent rollout of new features on IWillVote.com and VoyAVotar.com that help voters easily request and return their ballot by mail, as well as learn important information about the voting process in their state as they make their plan to vote.

This week, DNC Chair Tom Perez traveled to Arizona and Nevada to call out Donald Trump’s broken promises and encourage voters to make their voices heard this fall. During his trip, Chair Perez hosted a slate of voter mobilization events, urging Arizonans and Nevadans to make a plan to vote for Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Democrats up and down the ballot. See coverage of his trip below.

In Arizona:

Arizona Republic: With voting underway, DNC Chair Tom Perez optimistic about Arizona. “‘Donald Trump’s failures have cost people’s lives, it’s cost them their jobs,’ [Perez] said … ‘The failures of this president are on full display right here in Arizona. People know it and they’re fired up to come out and vote. I think there’s going to be record turnout here in Arizona.’”

Univision Arizona: “Tenemos que subir el salario mínimo y aumentar los impuestos a los millonarios”: “En su visita a Phoenix, el presidente del Comité Demócrata, Tom Pérez, habló sobre las campañas y destacó las acciones que podría implementar Joe Biden de llegar a la presidencia.”

Telemundo Arizona: “Biden tiene respecto para nuestra comunidad. Él va a trabajar 24/7 para mejorar nuestra vida. Donald Trump fundamentalmente no tiene respeto para nuestra comunidad.”

KVOA: “Twenty four days until the most important election of our lifetime. And the first visit from the Vice President and Senator Harris together post-convention was here in Arizona, because we know how important Arizona is. The road of the White House, the road to the Senate majority, goes through the great state of Arizona.”

In Nevada:

Las Vegas Review-Journal: DNC chairman urges Nevada Democrats to vote early. “Tom Perez, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, visited Las Vegas Tuesday to encourage voters across the valley to drop off their mail ballots and vote early. ‘Our focus is on getting the vote out, you got incredible energy out there in Nevada,’ Perez said Tuesday. ‘People often refer to Election Day as November 3rd, but Election Day is every day between now and November 3rd for people here in Nevada.’”

Las Vegas Sun: Susie Lee, DNC chair lead ballot drop-off parade in Henderson. “Perez stressed the need for Nevadans to participate in early voting, which begins Saturday … ‘I have confidence that we can pull this off because everybody is suffering from the same crisis and they see in Donald Trump a colossal failure on the coronavirus front, a failure on the economy … People understand that when you have a global pandemic, you can’t have 50 different solutions to that pandemic — you need federal leadership,’ Perez said.”

KSNV: DNC chair Tom Perez talks mail-in, early voting during events across Las Vegas valley. “Perez urged voters to get out early and vote via mail-in ballots or through early in-person voting, which starts in Nevada on October 17th. Perez said Nevada will be a key state in deciding the next president. With mail-in ballots, Perez said the option will help many voters concerned about COVID-19, and he said the ease of mail-in voting scares Republicans. ‘Donald Trump doesn’t want to vote by mail because it increases turnout. The evidence is overwhelming. Vote by mail is safe and its secure period,’ the DNC chair said.”

KRNV: “People here in Nevada can handle the truth. But [Trump] didn’t give them the truth. And here we are suffering needlessly because of his failures. Two hundred thousand deaths across the country. Look at the unemployment rate here. We can’t fix the economy until we fix the coronavirus and this president doesn’t understand this.”

The DNC War Room released a new television ad today, “Tested Positive,” that highlights how, even after contracting the coronavirus, Trump continues to put lives at risk by ignoring experts, holding in-person superspreader events, and lying to the American people about the threat of the virus.

“Trump ignored the advice of experts, didn’t contain the pandemic, and endangered American lives with all his lies — even after he tested positive for COVID himself,” said DNC War Room Senior Spokesperson and Advisor Lily Adams. “Now, as new cases surge, Trump is still claiming the virus will disappear and refusing to act, while the American people pay the price.”

“Tested Positive” will air in battleground states and on cable in Washington, D.C. It is the 14th ad the DNC War Room has released since June to hold Trump accountable for his failed record.

In response to Trump’s Pennsylvania rally where he once again joked about kissing his supporters and claimed without evidence that you’re immune after recovering from COVID, DNC War Room senior spokesperson and advisor Lily Adams released the following statement:

“Trump is parading around the country holding potential superspreader rallies, joking about the coronavirus, and misleading Americans about being immune. It’s hard to imagine a more reckless and irresponsible approach as the country enters the pandemic’s third wave. Trump is not only ‘asking for trouble,’ he is actively causing it.”
