    Gillibrand Attacks Trump on Manufacturing Jobs

    by Robert Farley Jul 12, 2019 4 minutes

    A TV ad from Democratic presidential candidate Kirsten Gillibrand accuses President Donald Trump of breaking his promise to protect and create manufacturing jobs. Despite some plant closures, there has been a net increase of nearly 500,000 manufacturing jobs on Trump’s watch.

    Billed by her campaign as the first anti-Trump TV ad of the 2020 cycle, the ad comes in support of what Sen.

The campaign said it is spending five figures to air the ad on cable channels in those cities.
