Nick Corasaniti of the New York Times –
| The ads have a singular goal: to terrify you. |
| Terrify? Yes, mostly if you’re an older, white suburban voter, the kind who has been abandoning President Trump in droves and has contributed to his lagging polling both nationwide and in battleground states. |
| The new ad from the Trump campaign, which simulates a break-in of an older woman’s home and ends with her being attacked, comes amid a sustained advertising assault over the past three weeks from Mr. Trump. The campaign has aired multiple ads depicting a lawless country in chaos and empty police stations, the result of the “defund the police” movement that the ad falsely claims is supported by Joseph R. Biden Jr. |
