The super-PAC supporting Ohio Governor John Kasich’s campaign for president is invoking Donald Trump’s iconic helicopter in a new TV commercial that will target New Hampshire voters this week.
New Day for America, which boosted Republican Kasich’s standing in polls in the critical first-in-the-nation primary state of New Hampshire with a previous flight of television ads that started in early July, hopes to keep his momentum going with a new, cheeky ad that implicitly compares Kasich’s record of government accomplishment with Trump’s boasts.
