Democrats will try to shine a spotlight on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump ’s record on workers’ rights by calling him a “scab” as the Labour Day holiday signals the unofficial start of the autumn campaign season.
“He has proven over and over again that he does not care about working Americans, and if he regains the Oval Office, he will answer only to his big-dollar friends and donors,” said DNC spokesperson Maddy Mundy. “We were really kind of channeling Shawn Fain with that choice,” Woodhouse joked, referring to Fain, who heads the United Auto Workers, wearing a T-shirt that called Trump a “scab” during his speech at the party’s national convention recently. A scab, in union parlance, is someone who doesn’t respect a picket line and instead walks through it.Woodhouse estimated the whole ad buy will only be about $25,000 to $30,000.
To determine where to place the billboards, Democrats considered the likelihood of a campaign event being held nearby, the potential route of a Trump motorcade that could draw people to where they might see the billboards, and whether the spots see high traffic.
