Senate Democrats’ campaign arm is launching a new advertising campaign in local Black media outlets in seven battleground states to help churn out a key demographic as Election Day is just a few weeks away.
An aide for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) told The Hill in an exclusive that the campaign will place ads in outlets in Florida, Maryland, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin. They said the ads will promote why voters need to participate in Senate elections and encourage them to make a plan to vote. The ads will also include the website IWillVote.com for voters to find the information they need to have their plan.
The website includes information like voter registration status, each state’s deadlines for voting and links to register to vote or vote by mail. The outlets where the ads will run include the Florida Star, the Baltimore Times and Annapolis Times, the Michigan Chronicle, the Call & Post, the West Philly Journal, Houston Style Magazine, Dallas Weekly and the Milwaukee Community Journal.
The ad campaign comes as Vice President Harris and other Democrats have been attempting to increase their appeal to Black voters, a key constituency in the Democratic coalition that is a must-win for the party on Election Day.

I heard on the Charlemagne Tha God podcast yesterday that some black men support Trump because they think he sent them a covid stimulus check---because Trump's signature is on the check. Of course, it was the Democrats who pushed for those payments while Republicans voted against them. Then when it passed by a hair with almost all House Republicans opposed to it, Trump caused a delay in their issuance by insisting his Geiger counter looking signature was on the check. And his Treasury Secretary obliged. So Trump got credit for a popular measure Republicans opposed.
