Several Democratic Senate candidates praised some of former President Donald Trump’s policies in advertisements as the 2024 campaign nears its end.

Democratic Sens. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania and Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin as well as Michigan Rep. Elissa Slotkin have all recently launched new political ads promoting Trump-era policies. A recent advertisement from Baldwin promotes policies aimed at increasing the use of American materials for domestic infrastructure projects.

Slotkin and her Republican opponent Mike Rogers have been locked in a close race in Michigan. The two Senate candidates are competing in a tossup state, according to an Oct. 9 poll from Quinnipiac.

Casey is leading by 3.8 points in Pennsylvania against Republican David McCormick, according to RealClearPolling. In Wisconsin, Baldwin is ahead by 2.7 points against Republican opponent Eric Hovde, according to RealClearPolling.

“We can’t let China steal Wisconsin jobs, so I wrote a law to require American infrastructure projects use American iron and steel,” Baldwin narrates in the ad.

“Tammy Baldwin got President Trump to sign her Made in America bill,” the ad said. “And then, she got President Biden to make it permanent.”

Trump said in September that he would place 200% tariffs on John Deere products if the company relocated its manufacturing to Mexico, and he also previously slammed China for placing tariffs on U.S. goods in August 2019. President Joe Biden announced in April that he would raise tariffs on electric vehicles (EVs) imported into the U.S. from China, despite criticizing the policy during his presidential campaign in 2020.

Casey also recently launched an ad supporting some of Trump’s policies, including fracking. Trump said in 2016 he supports fracking but thinks that it should be decided by local voters.

“Casey’s leading the effort to stop corporate greedflation and price gouging,” a narrator said in the ad. “Casey bucked Biden to protect fracking, and he sided with Trump to end NAFTA and put tariffs on China to stop them from cheating.”

Slotkin also released a television ad in early October attacking EV mandates, despite her having previously voted in favor of — which is a Biden-Harris administration policy Trump has repeatedly derided.

“I’m Elissa Slotkin, I live on a dirt road, nowhere near a charging station,” Slotkin said in the ad. “So I don’t own an electric car. No one should tell us what to buy, and no one’s gonna mandate anything. But here’s the thing, if there’s going to be a new generation of vehicles, I want that new generation built right here in Michigan, not China. I approve this message because what you drive is your call, no one else’s.”

The Biden-Harris administration has been funding various initiatives aimed at getting American car owners to switch to using EVs. The administration has pushed funding for EV charging stations in the hopes to meet its goal of installing 500,000 stations in the U.S. by 2030, but have yet to meet their goal amid logistical hurdles and slow progress. Many U.S. autoworkers are considering voting for Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.
