Former President Donald Trump‘s campaign released a new ad on the eve of Election Day, which showcases previous interviews the former president did in the 1980s.
The ad claims Trump has “always loved this country” and uses old interviews Trump did to back its argument. Among the interviews in the ad are Trump’s first media interview with Rona Barrett in 1980, his 1987 interview with Larry King, and his interview with Oprah Winfrey in 1988.

In his interview with Barrett, Trump was asked how he would like to be remembered, to which he responded, “As somebody that’s contributed to the United States.”
In his interview with Winfrey, Trump discussed how he would “make our allies pay their fair share” as president, arguing that other countries, such as Japan, can sell their goods in the United States without paying any fee. Ahead of the 2024 election, Trump has pushed using tariffs on other countries in a bid to drive production within the U.S.
In a second ad released by the Trump campaign, the former president showcases the endorsements he has received from numerous high-profile people, including former Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and billionaire Elon Musk. Nicole Shanahan, Kennedy’s running mate, is also seen in the ad stating she will be “a first-time Trump voter.”
The second ad was accompanied by “American Rock ‘n Roll” by musician Kid Rock, a supporter of Trump.

Ahead of the 2024 presidential election, the final New York Times/Siena College poll has shown no clear front-runner in the election, with six out of seven battleground states being labeled as “toss-ups.” The polling data also found that Harris has strengthened her support among black and Hispanic voters, while Trump’s support among non-college-educated white voters has improved.
