Yesterday evening, the Florida Democratic Party released a new digital ad, #NoJaxRNC, with an accompanying petition to tell Donald Trump to put public health ahead of his ego trip. The ad highlights recent developments in Jacksonville, including a poll showing 71% of Duval county voters say they’re concerned about COVID-19 transmission and an open letter signed by 200 doctors calling the RNC convention “provocative of disease, predictably harmful, and medically disrespectful to the citizens of this city.”
“Donald Trump’s disastrous response to coronavirus has already cost more than 128,000 Americans their lives, and now he is threatening tens of thousands of Floridians so he can give a speech,” said Terrie Rizzo, FDP Chair, “Donald Trump needs to weigh the interests of public health over his ego.”
