WASHINGTON _ Just weeks after a Republican National Convention dominated by calls for "law and order," President Donald Trump's campaign has returned to an almost exclusively economic message in its advertising.
It's the latest strategic pivot by the Trump campaign, as polls continue to show Joe Biden holding a steady advantage in the presidential race with less than seven weeks until Election Day, and only a few weeks from the start of early voting in many key states.
All seven new TV ads released by the Trump campaign this month to air in battleground states and on national cable _ including two new spots unveiled on Thursday _ make an economic case for the president over his Democratic opponent. None of the commercials mention the crime and protests that were prevalent in the campaign's previous messaging and repeated in full-throated speeches at the party's convention.
