Anti-Trump Group's Attack Ads on Legal Troubles Backfire

A conservative group, Win It Back PAC, produced four TV ads targeting Donald Trump's legal troubles, but all of them failed or backfired, with three of the ads actually boosting Trump's support among Republican primary voters. The ads, which focused on Trump's indictments and trials, were shelved after the study conducted by the PAC showed no impact on Trump's numbers. The study revealed that many Republican voters see Trump as a victim of the legal system, creating a predicament for his rivals who have refrained from attacking him on this issue. Other conservative groups, such as Americans for Prosperity, have also attempted to stop Trump but have struggled to gain traction.

"Conservative group launches ad campaign against Biden's menthol cigarette ban, while faith leaders and cardiologists support the prohibition"

Conservative advocacy group Building Americas Future is launching a six-figure ad campaign targeting swing states and congressional districts over the Biden administration's proposed menthol cigarette ban. The group argues that the ban would result in significant revenue losses for states and the federal government, while also fueling an underground market and disproportionately affecting minority communities. Proponents of the ban argue that it would reduce tobacco use and address health disparities caused by the targeting of certain communities by tobacco companies. The FDA has sent the proposed regulations to the White House for review.
