U.S. Senate hopeful Juliana Stratton is letting the expletives fly in a brand new marketing campaign advert spelling out what she ― and her supporters — actually take into consideration President Donald Trump.
“Fuck Trump, vote Juliana,” three folks say in the beginning of the Illinois lieutenant governor’s marketing campaign video launched Thursday.
“They said it, not me,” Stratton responds.
She then provides: “I’m Juliana Stratton and I’m proud to have lived my whole life on the South Side of Chicago. I’m not scared of a wannabe dictator. I’m running for Senate to stand up to Donald Trump. I’ll abolish ICE and hold Trump accountable for the crimes he’s committed. Just like they said…”
Two extra supporters then repeat the phrase, “Fuck Trump.”
Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) delivers the identical line on digicam.
And Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a possible 2028 Democratic presidential candidate who hasn’t been shy about attacking Trump, seems alongside Stratton on the finish of the advert, saying merely, “Vote Juliana,” omitting the profanity.
Stratton is at the moment trailing Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) in early polling within the race to exchange retiring Sen. Dick Durbin (D). The Illinois main is scheduled for March 17.
Correction: An earlier model of this text misstated the date of the Illinois main, which is on March 17.
