The Harris-Walz campaign on Wednesday debuted a new ad that aims to address the top economic concerns for Black American workers ahead of the 2024 Election , which is exactly 33 days away.
Entitled “Paycheck,” the 30-second spot is set to run in seven battleground states where Black voters are expected to play a crucial role in determining the next president of the United States.
Over the next five weeks, residents in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin will see and hear the new Harris-Walz campaign ad on TV and radio that lays out Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ economic vision.
The ad deals with themes like costs for groceries and housing at a time when both have disproportionately affected Black Americans, even as inflation is finally cooling a bit.
Specifically, the new ad expounds on Harris’ previously stated intention to create economic conditions where workers can “get to keep more of” their paychecks. That vow includes banning price gouging on a federal level and securing $25,000 down payments for first-time homeowners, more than 500,000 of which are estimated to be Black.
