WASHINGTON, D.C. – A political action committee supporting President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris has initiated a campaign to place billboards branding former President Donald J. Trump as a “felon.” This follows a contentious trial in New York City where Trump was found guilty on 34 misdemeanors, which were collectively treated as a felony by the presiding judge.
Claude Taylor of Mad Dog PPAC, the group behind the campaign, announced the progression of their billboard initiative. According to Taylor’s recent update, the 12th billboard has been installed in Wisconsin, with the 13th appearing in Las Vegas just ahead of a Trump rally scheduled there. Plans are set for the 14th and 15th billboards to be erected in Michigan on Interstate 94 and in southwest Florida on Interstate 75, respectively.
The PAC has successfully raised $3 million to fund this campaign. The deployment of these billboards comes amidst claims by Trump that his trial was influenced by Biden, his political allies, and what he describes as progressive district attorneys and judges in New York City. The billboards aim to emphasize the former president’s legal battles and controversial trial outcomes.
The billboards, some say, actually are having the opposite effect on voters who feel Trump was unjustly convicted and stands a a reminder to the influence of politics in criminal justice in modern American society.
