ICYMI: NBC’s Meet The Press Exclusive On New Club For Growth Ad Ahead Of Biden’s Chicago Trip

  |  

Washington, D.C. – NBC’s Meet The Press published and exclusive report on a new Club for Growth ad that will run during President Biden’s trip to Chicago on Wednesday. The ad will run in the morning and evening on all four major broadcast television networks, and Club for Growth will digitally target major transportation hubs and The Loop neighborhood of Chicago.

“Nobody’s buying Biden’s claim that his administration and policies have been good for business. He’s miserably underperformed on foreign policy, jobs, spending, inflation, regulations, and now he wants to impose a massive middle-class tax increase on hard-working Americans. While Biden ran as a moderate and claims to be a capitalist, it’s clear that he’s got more in common with many of the corrupt and incompetent liberal Illinois politicians.” David McIntosh, President, Club for Growth

Club for Growth targets Biden on jobs in Chicago ahead of visit

The conservative group Club for Growth is running television and digital ads in Chicago coinciding with President Joe Biden’s trip there Wednesday, accusing him and Democrats there of damaging the economy.

The advertisement, provided exclusively to NBC News, criticizes Biden for “unsustainable debt” and the “constant threat of massive tax hikes forcing businesses to close.”

It echoes themes from Republicans, who have sought to paint Biden and Democrats as engaged in reckless spending that is spurring inflation and harming consumers.

The ads are running Wednesday on Chicago television networks, a $17,500 buy that spans four broadcast networks including during all four morning programs and evening newscasts. The digital ads will also target business and transportation hubs in Chicago, including in the two major city airports plus the ones in Waukegan, Ill. and Kenosha, Wisc. plus the Chicago train station.

“Nobody’s buying Biden’s claim that his administration and policies have been good for business,” David McIntosh, president of Club for Growth, said in a statement. “He’s miserably underperformed on foreign policy, jobs, spending, inflation, regulations, and now he wants to impose a massive middle-class tax increase on hard-working Americans. While Biden ran as a moderate and claims to be a capitalist, it’s clear that he’s got more in common with many of the corrupt and incompetent liberal Illinois politicians.”
