DNC Launches New Ad Campaign in Gas Stations and Convenience Stores Calling Out Donald Trump’s Project 2025 Price Hikes Arrow

The ads will run across the Midwest, highlighting Trump's disastrous economic agenda that would hike costs across the board, from gas prices to everyday essentials

Today, the Democratic National Committee is launching a new ad campaign at hundreds of gas stations and convenience stores across the Midwest - reaching voters in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Nebraska - calling out Donald Trump's expensive Project 2025 agenda to hike costs on working Americans. The Trump-Vance ticket's ultra-MAGA blueprint would raise costs by about $7,600 each year, increase gas prices by up to 75 cents a gallon, and leave working families in the dust - all while giving tax handouts to billionaires and big corporations.

As millions of Americans head to the polls in the final days before the election, the DNC is making sure voters understand that Vice President Harris, Governor Walz, and Democrats up and down the ballot are fighting to lower costs while Trump and Vance are promising an "inflation bomb" that would skyrocket prices while rigging the economy for the ultra-rich on the backs of working families. This ad campaign will also run in communities with a large number of union households and at stores located on or near college campuses.

"With Election Day right around the corner, the stakes for hardworking Americans - and their wallets - have never been more clear. Donald Trump and JD Vance's extreme Project 2025 agenda would rig the economy for the ultra-wealthy while jacking up gas prices by about 75 cents a gallon and adding thousands of dollars onto working families' bills," said DNC Chair Jaime Harrison. "Trump might've been handed a fortune on a silver platter by his daddy, but most of us have to work for a living. Vice President Harris is the only candidate in this race who understands the struggles working families face and will fight every day to make life more affordable."
