NEW YORK Former Rep. Michael Grimm is running his first cable ads attacking incumbent Rep. Dan Donovan, just days after President Donald Trump endorsed Donovan in the closely watched Staten Island Republican primary race thats become a referendum on which candidate is closest to the commander in chief.
The 30-second ad, which will run exclusively on Fox News it's titled Donovan Says NO to Trump attacks Donovan for his no votes on, or opposition to, specific pieces of legislation Trump supported. The initial ad buy is $29,990, and the ads are set to run Saturday through June 24. The primary is June 26.
The ad features black-and-white photos of Donovan and a voice-over narration.
