New York Democrats have launched a digital ad attacking GOP gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman over his ties to President Trump and the issue of health care. The 15-second video, titled "Won't Change," features clips of Blakeman's statements praising Trump and stating he would never be disloyal to him. The ad criticizes President Trump for raising health care costs by 40 percent, suggesting that health care premiums for 140,000 New Yorkers would increase by close to 40 percent after Congress declined to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies. The digital spot is part of a seven-figure ad buy from the state Democratic Party, which will be distributed on digital and streaming platforms.
