Clinton's First Spanish Language TV Ad Will Air During Copa America's Final Match
The ad will air during Copa America's final match on Sunday.
NEW YORK -- Just one day after a decision by the Supreme Court that would halt President Barack Obama's executive action on immigration reform, Hillary Clinton's campaign today debuted its first Spanish-language TV ad -- targeting Donald Trump.
The 60-second spot -- titled "Nuestra Historia" (Our History) -- will air nationally on Sunday during Copa America's final match between Chile and Argentina. The soccer match, which will be held in New Jersey, is expected to draw huge viewership totals on Univision.
The ad features five Latin Americans of Colombian, Mexican, Salvadoran and Puerto Rican descent talking about their American and immigrant roots.
"In our stories there is a spirit, a fight, that is stronger than hate. Stronger than Trump," one woman says.
On Thursday, the Supreme Court voted to uphold a lower court's ruling to halt the president's executive action on immigration. The Court’s 4-4 deadlock blocked the Obama administration policy that would have offered more than 4 million undocumented immigrants a chance to remain in the country without fear of deportation.
Clinton -- who has pledged throughout her campaign to take on immigration reform in her first 100 days as president -- called the decision "heartbreaking" and "unacceptable."
"We must do better," she tweeted.
Trump, on the other hand, responded to the decision in a statement saying President Obama's executive action "the one of the most unconstitutional actions ever undertaken by a President."
Clinton's campaign did not say the cost of this new Spanish TV ad. They have, however, already been on the airwaves in multiple swing-states across the country.
Last week, her campaign launched an 8-figure, six-week television buy and began airing three new television ads in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia.
