As Candidates Debate, Trump Campaign Hits Back Through Ads Attacking Health Care For Undocumented Immigrants

"Democrats — radical, reckless, socialist," the narrator in the ads says. "They're all the same." Meanwhile, as the first debate ramped up, President Donald Trump's campaign manager focused on how Democrats' plans would increase taxes and long waits for health care.

President Trump's campaign will air an ad during the Democratic debates this week highlighting the candidates' support for providing health care to immigrants without legal status. Democrats are "putting illegal immigrants before hardworking Americans," says a narrator in the ad, which will air on CNN, MSNBC and Fox during the debates Tuesday and Wednesday. (Hellmann, 7/30)

President Trump’s 2020 campaign manager accused Democrats of fighting to increase taxes for the middle class and make patients wait in long lines for health care in the midst of the second 2020 Democratic debate. “Democrats are fighting to take away private insurance, tax you for it, and then convince you that the Government will give you better coverage,” Brad Parscale tweeted Tuesday night. (Pitofsky, 7/30)
