As Fears of Recession Grow, Julián Castro Releases Ad Targeting Trump’s Failing Economy


SAN ANTONIO, TX  – Speaking directly to Donald Trump in an empty warehouse in Iowa, presidential candidate and former Obama Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Mayor of San Antonio, Julián Castro, released a new ad online highlighting President Trump’s failing economy, citing increasing drug prices, a worsening immigration crisis, slow job growth, and mounting fears of a recession.

With recent reports suggesting a recession may be looming, Secretary Castro highlights Trump’s shameless strategy to distract the American people by inciting hateful and divisive rhetoric, in hopes of concealing his failed economy.

On Tuesday, Julián Castro released another ad titled, ‘Ya Basta’ which directly linked Donald Trump’s dangerous, white nationalist rhetoric to the El Paso shooting which targeted the Latinx community.
 
“Donald Trump's presidency is a failure by any measure” said campaign manager Maya Rupert. “He squandered a booming economy from Barack Obama and lined the pockets of corporations and the wealthiest few, at the expense of working families. He thinks he can distract Americans from his failures by dividing us—but Julián won’t be distracted. He will keep fighting for hardworking Americans and exposing Donald Trump for the failure that he is.”


           

Speaking directly to Donald Trump, Julián Castro recites the following in the video:
 
“Hello, Mr. President. Julián Castro here, in one of the many empty warehouses in Iowa. I’m sorry that your Presidency is failing.

Drug prices are up. The immigration crisis is worse. The debt has exploded. Job growth slowed. Not a lot to run on there.

So, you’re trying to distract us. And divide us, with dangerous and hateful rhetoric. I won’t be distracted. I’m going to keep the American people focused on your failed record.

I’m Julián Castro and I approve this message because I love our country, and we can do better than you.”
 
The video ad, ‘Sorry You’re Failing’ is running in Iowa on several digital platforms including Facebook, Spotify, Hulu, YouTube, and Google Display with an additional investment to come of $50,000.
