This is the first Harris campaign ad tying Trump to a down-ballot campaign, the Harris campaign told CNN. The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the new ad. In a statement to CNN following Thursday’s KFile reporting, Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said, “President Trump’s campaign is focused on winning the White House and saving this country. We will not take our eye off the ball.”The Trump campaign has so far declined to weigh in specifically on CNN’s reporting about Robinson’s controversial comments. Before the CNN story was published, Trump’s campaign had not invited Robinson to Trump’s Saturday event, and sources noted that decision was likely to hold.
