Harris campaign features ex-Trump officials in new ad for Fox News, West Palm Beach

Vice President Harris’s campaign on Monday unveiled a new ad featuring ex-officials in the Trump administration warning against former President Trump.

The one-minute ad, entitled “The Best People,” will run on Fox News as well as in Trump’s hometown of West Palm Beach, Fla. and in Philadelphia on Tuesday to coincide with the presidential debate.

The ad includes former Vice President Mike Pence saying he won’t endorse Trump this cycle and former Defense Secretary Mark Esper saying he doesn’t think Trump can be trusted with the nation’s secrets.

It also features former national security adviser John Bolton warning that Trump would cause damage as president and former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley calling Trump a “wannabe dictator.”

“Take it from the people who knew him best. Donald Trump is a danger to our troops and our democracy. We can’t let him lead our country again,” the ad reads.

The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the ad.

“This ad will remind Fox News viewers, perhaps even a certain defeated former president himself, about how Trump’s own national security team can’t stomach him anymore because of how he’d put the country at risk,” said Harris principal deputy campaign manager Quentin Fulks.

The Harris campaign also released three ads targeting Trump on abortion ahead of the debate that include comments from the former president saying he was proud to have had a hand in the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.
