Senate Democratic campaign arm hits Republicans over Trump's first 100 days in ad
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) launched a digital ad campaign on Monday targeting Republicans in swing states over President Trump's first 100 days in office. The ad campaign, titled '100 Days of Cowardice,' comes as the second Trump administration reaches its 100 day mark on Tuesday. The 30-second spots are slated to run in the battleground states of Michigan, New Hampshire and Georgia, which are set to have open Senate contests next year. The campaign also includes targeted spots against Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) that will run in their respective states. The ads hit Republicans over Trump's tariffs, inflation, as well as potential cuts to Medicaid and Social Security. The ad also includes footage of the president's billionaire adviser Elon Musk wielding a chainsaw on stage at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference earlier this year. The effort is the latest from Democrats to tie Republicans in swing states to Trump as polls show the president's approval rating dropping. A New York Times/Siena College poll released last week shows Trump with a 42 percent approval rating, while a CNN poll released on Sunday showed the president with a 41 percent approval rating. The Senate and the House will return from recess on Monday as Republicans in both chambers work to pass Trump's legislative agenda. The proposed package would include $9.3 billion in cuts already approved by Congress to NPR, PBS and the State Department, The Hill previously reported. Additionally, lawmakers will aim to extend Trump's 2017 tax cuts while increasing spending on defense and border security through the budget reconciliation process. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
