Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton will run ads during World Series' Game 7
With six days until Election Day, there’s no escaping politics -- even during the World Series.
Millions of people will be glued to their TVs tonight for Game 7 between the Cleveland Indians and the Chicago Cubs, and both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are running ads to ensure they get their message in front of them.
The potential reach for these ads, just days before Election Day, is pretty enormous: In 2014, the last year the World Series went to a Game 7, approximately 23.5 million people tuned in.
Trump will run three ads during the game—spots that cost approximately $200,000 apiece, a campaign source told CBS News. One, “Change,” hammers Clinton for being a Washington “insider” and says Trump will “turn Washington upside down.”
Another, “Choice,” tells voters they will choose between “two Americas” on Election Day. The third ad, “Corruption,” attacks Clinton for her “pay to play politics” at the Clinton Foundation and notes the FBI’s new investigation into her private email practices.
Clinton will also run three ads during tonight’s game, all three of which use Trump’s words against him to conclude he’s unfit for the presidency. One, “Role Models,” shows children watching clips of Trump on TV.
Another, “Just One,” features his comments on national security issues and says the country needs a leader with “steady leadership, clear thinking and calm judgment.” A third ad, “What He Believes,” features Trump’s comments about women, including his now-infamous suggestion that when it comes to women, he could “grab them by the p****.”
