With the Republican National Convention mere days away \u2013 where MAGA Republicans from across the country will descend on Milwaukee to fall in line with Donald Trump\u2019s toxic plan to ban abortion nationwide, dismantle democracy, and destroy the economy for the middle class \u2013 the DNC is going on the offensive across the city that Trump recently called \u2018horrible.<\/a>\u2019 In the lead-up to the RNC, the DNC has launched robust counterprogramming efforts to ensure Wisconsin voters know that President Biden is fighting for them, while underlining the threat Trump represents to their fundamental freedoms in this year\u2019s election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Donald Trump attempts to hide his<\/a> extreme agenda to dismantle reproductive freedom and democracy and continues to only look out for himself, President Biden continues to deliver for American families and remains committed to restoring and defending fundamental freedoms across the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NBC News<\/strong><\/a>: DNC and Biden campaign prepare counter-message for Trump’s convention<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Mike Memoli, 7\/11\/24]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Democratic National Committee and the Biden campaign say they are planning a six-figure paid visibility effort in Milwaukee during the RNC, with daily news conferences featuring Democratic surrogates and advertising around the city blasting Trump and the governing blueprint put forward by conservative allies. […]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018If Trump thought Milwaukee was \u2018horrible\u2019 before, he won\u2019t be happy when he\u2019s met by a counter-convention from Democrats on the ground who will expose his extreme Project 2025 agenda and hold him accountable for shilling for the rich at the expense of working families, attacking reproductive freedom, and threatening to be a dictator on \u2018day one,\u2019 DNC communications director Rosemary Boeglin said in a statement. \u2018Trump wants to sell the American people on a return to his reckless, chaotic extremism \u2014 but Americans know a fraud and a liar when they see one.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[…]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTrump himself will also be a major target of the DNC\u2019s activities, with the party casting the convention as showcasing \u2018the best that they have to offer the American people: a coup-attempting convicted felon.\u2019 The party says its counterprogramming will highlight \u2018the grave danger that Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans pose to our democracy, our rights, and our livelihoods.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe party says it will have pro-Biden and anti-Trump messages on billboards across Milwaukee, as well as mobile billboards and dozens of city buses. Each morning, Biden and DNC officials will host news conferences about specific parts of the Trump agenda, with surrogates who will include Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, Rep. Veronica Escobar of Texas and former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA rapid response team will also be working to spotlight what the Trump and Republican teams are doing at and around the convention.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel<\/strong><\/a>: Democrats outfitting buses with ‘Dark Brandon’ memes to troll the RNC in Milwaukee<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Jessie Opoien, 07\/08\/24]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA week before the Republican National Convention’s launch in Milwaukee, the Democratic National Committee is outfitting 57 buses with ads boosting Democratic President Joe Biden and targeting Republican former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are seven wraps altogether, four of which feature the \u2018Dark Brandon\u2019 meme \u2014 an illustration of Biden with laser eyes playing off the right-wing \u2018Let’s Go Brandon\u2019 chant (meant as code for \u2018F— Joe Biden\u2019).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSlogans on the \u2018Dark Brandon\u2019 buses include \u2018Restore Roe? Vote for Joe!!\u2019 and \u2018Get On Board, Folks. We’re Lowering Prescription Drug Costs.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe anti-Trump buses include notes that the former president is a convicted felon and a quote from a 2023 interview he did with Newsmax: \u2018I’m the one that got rid of Roe v. Wade.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel<\/strong><\/a>: Here’s a look at the political billboards popping up around Milwaukee ahead of the RNC<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Maia Pandey, 07\/09\/24]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe billboard floodgates seemed to open last month, when the DNC capitalized on Trump\u2019s comments disparaging Milwaukee with a billboard blitz across the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn a June meeting with House Republicans, Trump said, \u2018Milwaukee, where we are having our convention, is a horrible city,\u2019 according to a report by Punchbowl News. The comment quickly went viral, prompting explanations and denials from Republican lawmakers, the Trump campaign and the former president himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust a day after news broke of the comment, national Democrats launched 10 billboards in Milwaukee with Trump’s face and words. The billboards are along I-94, I-41 and I-43. Find a list of specific locations here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe DNC will launch eight more billboards in Milwaukee next week focused on preserving democracy and abortion rights, The Hill reported Tuesday. These signs, which will appear in both English and Spanish, will read, \u2018Democracy is on the ballot, folks,\u2019 \u2018Restore Roe? Vote for Joe!!\u2019 and \u2018Joe Biden will: restore Roe, fight for freedoms, defend democracy,\u2019 according to The Hill. […]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe DNC didn’t stop with its first round of “horrible city” billboards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn another riff on the incident, national Democrats put up eight Fourth of July billboards around the city last week. Along with wishing Milwaukee a happy July Fourth, the billboards read, \u2018Unlike Donald Trump, Joe Biden loves your city.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe signs are all positioned in high-traffic areas around Milwaukee, including I-43 and I-94. Find a complete list of locations here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hill<\/strong><\/a>: DNC to launch billboards, bus signs in Milwaukee for RNC hitting Trump over Roe, democracy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Alex Gangitano, 07\/09\/24]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Democratic National Committee (DNC) will launch eight billboards in Milwaukee during the Republican National Convention next week, making the case that reproductive rights and democracy are on the ballot in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn the billboards, first shared exclusively with The Hill, Milwaukee will see \u2018Democracy is on the ballot, folks\u2019 and \u2018Restore Roe? Vote for Joe!!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018Joe Biden will: restore Roe, fight for freedoms, defend democracy,\u2019 another billboard reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe billboards will be in English and Spanish and aims to remind \u2018Milwaukee that Biden is the only candidate defending democracy and freedoms,\u2019 according to the DNC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe DNC has also arranged for signs on 57 buses around Milwaukee to include seven slogans supporting Biden with similar messages about democracy and Roe, including, \u2018Restore Roe? Vote for Joe!!,\u2019 the committee said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPresident Biden has made restoring the protections that Roe v. Wade provided a key pillar of his campaign after the Supreme Court overturned federal abortion protections. He also often warns on the campaign trail that former President Trump is a threat to democracy, citing his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe focus on democracy on the billboards comes after the Supreme Court gave Trump a win by determining core presidential powers are immune from criminal prosecution, returning his federal case on his efforts to overturn the 2020 election back to a lower court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiden has harshly criticized the ruling, calling it a \u2018dangerous precedent\u2019 and warning that the ruling means \u201cthe American people must decide if they want to entrust\u201d the presidency to Trump knowing he can \u2018be even more emboldened.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reuters<\/strong><\/a>: US Democrats roll out Biden ads in Milwaukee before Republican convention<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Stephanie Kelly, 07\/08\/24]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cU.S. Democrats are rolling out advertisements on dozens of Milwaukee buses before the Republican convention there next week, with most featuring images of U.S. President Joe Biden from a popular online meme even as he tries to salvage his re-election bid.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMore than 50 buses will carry the ads through the convention that runs from July 15-18, the Democratic National Committee said. Biden’s rival Donald Trump is due to be officially named at the convention as the Republican Party’s nominee in the Nov. 5 presidential election.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[…]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe ad rollout has been in the works for months, the DNC said, far before the June 27 debate.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBiden beat Trump in the left-leaning city of Milwaukee by a landslide margin of nearly 60 percentage points, but carried the larger state of Wisconsin by fewer than 21,000 votes out of 3.2 million cast. Wisconsin is expected to be a pivotal battleground state in the election this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe ads focus on abortion rights, lowering the cost of prescription drugs and the recent criminal conviction of Trump, who only weeks ago called Milwaukee a \u2018horrible city\u2019 at a closed door meeting, according to media reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[…]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe ads feature Biden staring out with red eyes mimicking the popular \u2018Dark Brandon\u2019 meme, which started as a right-wing slogan to tie Biden to conspiracy theories but has since been co-opted by Democrats in support of Biden.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018Get real, Jack. I’m bringing Roe back,\u2019 says one ad, a reference to the Supreme Court’s decision in 2022 to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade case that recognized women’s constitutional right to abortion. The court’s conservative majority includes three justices Trump appointed.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“\u2019This year, the survival of our democracy is on the ballot, along with protections for fundamental freedoms, health care, affordable prescription drugs, and good-paying jobs,\u2019 said Rosemary Boeglin, communications director for the Democratic National Committee, whose own convention will take place in Chicago in August.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“\u2019There’s just one candidate who will protect them: President Joe Biden.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Kerry Picket, 07\/08\/24]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDemocrats are plowing ahead with plans to drive a fleet of 57 buses, which include vehicles wrapped with President Biden\u2019s face as \u2018Dark Brandon,\u2019 around the Republican National Convention next week in Milwaukee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[…]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDemocrats say they will remind voters that Mr. Biden \u2018is fighting for them as Trump and extreme Republicans prepare to descend on the city \u2014 which Donald Trump described as \u2018horrible,\u2019 a reference to a comment Mr. Trump made at a GOP meeting with lawmakers in Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDNC Communications Director Rosemary Boeglin said in a statement that there is just one candidate who will protect \u2018democracy\u2019 and \u2018protections for fundamental freedoms, health care, affordable prescription drugs, and good-paying jobs.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018Ahead of the Republican National Convention, Democrats are making sure that Wisconsinites and all Americans understand that if Trump wins, America loses,\u2019 she said. \u2018President Biden has Americans\u2019 backs, and we\u2019ll have his when we send him back to the Oval Office for four more years this November.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Annabella Rosciglione, 07\/08\/24]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Democratic National Committee is rolling out ads for President Joe Biden on city buses in Milwaukee ahead of the Republican National Convention the city is hosting next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFifty-seven buses will be wrapped with pro-Biden ads. There are seven original wraps and four of the seven feature the \u2018Dark Brandon\u2019 meme with taglines such as \u2018Restore Roe? Vote for Joe!!\u2019 and \u2018Get On Board, Folks. We\u2019re Lowering Prescription Drug Costs.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[…]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe bus campaign also features sentiments against former President Donald Trump. One wrap denotes Trump\u2019s new status as a convicted felon. Another bus wrap uses a quote from Trump in which he claimed he was the one who got rid of Roe v. Wade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018He won\u2019t stop until reproductive care is banned everywhere including Wisconsin,\u2019 one of the wraps reads.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Urban Milwaukee<\/strong><\/a>: Bus Ads Will Blast Trump, Promote Biden During Republican Convention<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Graham Kilmer, 07\/08\/24]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Democratic National Committee (DNC) is turning Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) buses into rolling ads blasting former president Donald Trump during the Republican National Convention (RNC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe DNC announced Monday that it was \u2018going on the offensive early,\u2019 and purchasing ad space on 57 MCTS buses, which covers approximately 15% of the transit system\u2019s fleet. A spokesperson for the DNC told Urban Milwaukee the committee didn\u2019t yet know how much would be spent on the ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe rolling ad campaign includes three separate anti-Trump ads highlighting his support for overturning Roe v. Wade and his recent felony criminal conviction. They are contrasted by four that will promote President Joe Biden\u2018s campaign, employing the \u2018Dark Brandon\u2019 image of Biden with red laser beams for eyes. The pro-Biden ads highlight his support for Roe, lowering prescription drug costs and protecting Social Security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[…]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018We\u2019re trying to reach people in the most fractured media environment in the history of American politics,\u2019 Sam Cornale, DNC Executive Director recently told Wisconsin Public Radio. \u2018And we\u2019re taking an incredibly innovative approach, one facet of which is over-indexing on billboards.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[WTMJ News, 07\/11\/24]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Democratic National Committee is taking their promotional strategy to the streets, purchasing bus wraps that will travel around Milwaukee during the Republican National Convention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe DNC purchased 7 bus wraps that will appear on 57 buses run by the Milwaukee County Transit System. Four of the bus ads focus on President Biden\u2019s record, specifically regarding the restoration of abortion protections after the Dobbs v. Jackson\u2019s Women\u2019s Health decision, lowering prescription drugs, and maintaining social security. Three ads take aim at former President Trump\u2019s record when it comes to Wisconsin families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDNC Communications Director Rosemary Boeglin says, \u2018[a]head of the Republican National Convention, Democrats are making sure that Wisconsinites and all Americans understand that if Trump wins, America loses. This year, the survival of our democracy is on the ballot, along with protections for fundamental freedoms, health care, affordable prescription drugs, and good-paying jobs. There\u2019s just one candidate who will protect them: President Joe Biden. While Trump, a convicted felon, selfishly campaigns to benefit himself, President Biden is looking out for us. President Biden has Americans\u2019 backs, and we\u2019ll have his when we send him back to the Oval Office for four more years this November.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WISN<\/strong><\/a>: From buses to billboards: Political ads take over Milwaukee<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Kendall Keys, 7\/9\/24]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDemocrats and Republicans have billboards up all across the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018We’ve got a ton of billboards. Anybody driving in or around the city of Milwaukee will see those. We’ve got digital ads, we’ve got TV. We’re blanketing radio,\u2019 Sam Cornale, executive director for the Democratic National Committee said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe DNC paid to wrap nearly 60 Milwaukee County buses with signs advocating for President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018What you’re seeing on the buses is our attempt to meet voters where they are on the street corners and say \u2018This is the choice that you have to start wrapping your head around, and we’re going to work to earn your vote,\u2019 Cornale said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018Is it safe to say millions will be spent next week during the RNC on ad campaigns by the DNC?\u2019 WISN 12 News reporter Kendall Keys asked Cornale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018I think it is safe to say that. Not just because the GOP convention is in Wisconsin, but because it is going to be a very, very close and critically important state,\u2019 Cornale said.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Daniela Cado, 7\/9\/24]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs Milwaukee prepares for the Republican National Convention next week, dueling messages appear along the highways — in English and in Spanish — to attract some Latino voters in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBillboards may be an old school strategy to advertise, but political experts say it’s just as effective today as it was back in the day in reaching a larger audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018A simple message really catches your attention. They’re short, so I think everybody gets to seem them,\u2019 said Marco Frieri, the Hispanic media director for the Democratic National Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[…]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrieri explained to CBS 58 News on Tuesday why the DNC has launched billboards in English and Spanish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018Latinos see, ‘they’re thinking about us, they actually care about us, they want to communicate how we communicate,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAccording to the latest data from Pew Research Center, Latinos have grown at the second-fastest rate of any major racial and ethnic group in the U.S. electorate since the last presidential election, with an estimated 36.2 million eligible voters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrieri said that is the DNC’s underlying message from the one that’s front and center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018We’re trying to highlight what he’s proposing and what we’re defending – again, our democracy, our institutions and women’s rights are key in this election,\u2019 Frieri said.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
