Donald Trump’s campaign recently released a new ad in battleground Michigan targeting Kamala Harris and her stance on gas-powered vehicles. The ad warns of potential job losses for auto workers and emphasizes the importance of the state in the upcoming election.
The ad opens with a direct message to auto workers, stating that Kamala Harris aims to eliminate all gas cars, labeling the idea as 'crazy but true.' It goes on to suggest that Harris's advocacy for electric vehicles is leading to layoffs in the auto industry in Michigan, with the implication that more job cuts could follow.
President Trump is portrayed in the ad as a defender of American auto workers, pledging to address issues such as unfair trade practices with China, economic stability, and inflation concerns.
In response to the accusations, the Harris campaign has refuted the claims, denouncing them as 'lies.' They have clarified that Vice President Harris does not support a mandate for electric vehicles, despite the ongoing criticism.
The controversy surrounding Harris and other Democrats stems from new federal regulations introduced by the Biden administration, which aim to phase out gas-powered vehicles over time. This policy shift has fueled debates and campaign rhetoric, particularly in key battleground states like Michigan.
