A pair of ads from the Harris campaign features Pennsylvania farmers who voted for Trump in the past two presidential elections but now support Harris. The ads are part of the campaign’s outreach to rural and Republican voters.
In an ad titled “Not Again,” Pennsylvanians Bob and Kristina Lange, whose family farm has been in operation since 1896, said they believe Harris will unify Americans, but Trump divides people.
“I voted for him twice. I won’t vote for him again. January 6 was a wake up call for me,” Bob Lange says, referring to Trump and the Jan. 6, 2021, attack of the Capitol by his supporters.
“He didn’t do anything to help us,” he adds. “Kamala Harris, she cares about the American people. I think she’s got the wherewithal to make a difference. I’ve never voted for a Democrat.”
Another ad, titled “Common Sense,” features Bob Lange saying that farmers are “the backbone of the economy” before going on to say that he voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020, but has become disillusioned with his economic policies.
“This election, I’m voting on what I feel. I think Trump cares for his cronies, the people that are very wealthy. Never thought I’d say this, but the Democrats are the party of common sense,” he says, adding that he thinks Trump’s economic plans “only benefit billionaires and huge corporations,” but Harris and Walz are “focusing on the needs of everyday Americans.”
The ads are set to air on digital platforms and more than 130 rural radio stations across Pennsylvania.
