The Democratic National Committee (DNC) launched billboards around Milwaukee for the final day of the Republican National Convention, ahead of former President Trump’s highly anticipated speech to accept the Republican Party’s nomination.
In a statement first provided to The Hill, the DNC said it has placed billboards around the city and is having a piece of furniture circle the perimeter of the convention site, attacking Trump over his plans for a second term.
The billboards targeted Trump over Project 2025, the conservative Heritage Foundation’s plan for the next Republican Party presidency, which Trump has tried to distance himself from. And he criticizes him on taxes, healthcare, Social Security and democracy, noting that Trump said he would be a dictator on “day one.”
The billboards also attack Trump over abortion, claiming he will sign a national ban, even though the former president has said abortion laws should be left to the states after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
“Trump’s Project 2025 agenda is a dark vision for America and voters deserve to know the whole truth: It is a fraud on all but the one percent and would end the ACA [Affordable Care Act] and destroy Social Security, eliminating protections for millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions and tearing up the millions in retirement security our seniors have earned,” DNC spokesman Abhi Rahman said in a statement.
“The DNC will continue to cover the airwaves, the streets, and the skies with the truth, because Donald Trump will certainly continue to lie and American families need to know the truth,” Rahman added.
The DNC has also been critical of Trump’s pick for vice president, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), over his past statements on abortion.
Vance gave a raucous speech Wednesday night to officially accept the nomination to be on the Republican ticket.
