Today, Biden-Harris 2024 is launching a new radio ad “Not for Us,” slamming Donald Job Trump’s racist “Black jobs” rant during the most viral moment of the debate when he said that immigrants are “taking Black jobs.”
The 60-second spot opens with Donald Trump’s own words, “They’re taking your Black jobs,” and goes on to portray a dialogue between two Black voters discussing what exactly IS a Black job? Since we all know Trump didn’t mean doctors, lawyers, teachers, entrepreneurs, CEO’s, Supreme Court Justices, President or Vice President, the voters try to untangle what Donald Trump was referring to in his most recent attempts at pitting two minority groups against each other and stoking fear. This ad also underscores the promises made and kept by President Biden and Vice President Harris that support Black America, resulting in historic economic progress for Black communities including the creation of millions of new jobs, the booming number of Black-owned small businesses and record low Black unemployment.
The condensed 30-second version closes with the most important “Black job” of all: “Making sure the guy that said ‘Black jobs’ – never becomes president again.”
This ad buy is a part of Team Biden-Harris 2024’s push to ramp up investments to reach the voters who will decide this election. “Not for Us” will air beginning Friday, June 5 in local markets including Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Michigan beginning next week during shows such as: the Breakfast Club, Steve Harvey, DL Hughley, Rickey Smiley, Keith Sweat, Morning Hustle and more. The 30 second version of the ad will run nationally on American Urban Radio Network, and select Reach Media programming.
The following is a statement from Biden-Harris 2024 Co-Chair former Congressman Cedric Richmond:
“Donald Trump thinks so little of Black people that he can’t help but to keep saying the quiet part out loud: He thinks only certain jobs are ‘Black jobs.’ It’s why he launched his real estate career getting sued for not renting to Black people and launched his political career attacking Barack Obama, the first Black president. It’s why he attacked and insulted Congressmen John Lewis and Elijah Cummings, civil rights heroes. In his mind, leading this country is not a ‘Black job.’ To him, my job as a United States congressman or senior advisor to the President of the United States is not a ‘Black job.
“He’s wrong – and Black America isn’t going to stop letting him hear about it. Trump has shown us who he is again and again and again, and Black voters are already – loudly – rejecting his racism. We’ll do the same at the ballot box this November.
