Clinton New York Ad

Targets a Native: Trump

A time-lapse video shows One World Trade Center rising rapidly out of Lower Manhattan as Hillary Clinton proclaims, “When we pull together, we do the biggest things in the world.”

In her campaign’s first ad to run in New York, which holds its primaries later this month, Mrs. Clinton embraces the diversity of New York State and City to make a contrast with the rhetoric of a native son running for office: Donald J. Trump.

THE MESSAGE

Divisive ideas like building walls and barring people based on religion, Mrs. Clinton says in the ad, won’t work in her adopted state.

A panoply of New Yorkers “20 million strong,” with varied skin tones and expressions, flash by like a whizzing subway car. “No, we don’t all look the same; we don’t all sound the same, either,” Mrs. Clinton says as a customer and bodega worker exchange pleasantries in Spanish.
