Here’s one more sign the general election campaign is underway in Iowa: Hillary Clinton is running TV ads in the state.

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee launched three TV spots in the state on Thursday, part of an eight-figure, six-week campaign running across eight states.

One of the ads draws a contrast with presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, positioning Clinton as someone who unites Americans whereas Trump divides them.

The other two are more biographical, focusing on her efforts as an attorney, first lady and secretary of state in aiding children.

All three ads feature brief clips of a December Clinton campaign event at Keota High School in southeast Iowa.

Besides Iowa, the ads will run in Colorado, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia — all states expected to be competitive in November.
