Voters in Saginaw face overwhelming attack ads ahead of presidential election

theguardian.com

In Saginaw, Michigan, voters are overwhelmed by a flood of attack ads ahead of next week’s presidential election. These ads target both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, using controversial imagery and claims to sway public opinion. The ads, funded largely by political action committees, often feature misleading statements about immigration and crime. They aim to provoke fear and drive voter turnout, but it remains unclear if they are effectively changing minds. As the election approaches, a liberal group is focusing on encouraging voter participation rather than attacking opponents. Their ads emphasize the importance of voting, suggesting that non-voters could regret their choice if Trump wins.
