Last week, the campaign of the former President, Donald Trump, released an advertisement that caused quite a stir. It seems that one of the team members made a mistake and mixed up the state of Georgia with the country of Georgia. The ad was targeted specifically at the swing state of Georgia, but instead of showcasing the picturesque landscapes of the southeastern US state, it displayed the flowery rolling hills of the eastern European nation.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the ad was live on both Facebook and Instagram. It urged the people of Georgia to register to vote for Trump and to check their voter registration status. However, the image accompanying the ad was not of the US state that boasts mountains, farmland, and beaches, but rather of the country with a similar name, known for its beautiful scenery and historic landmarks.
The ad caught the attention of many, including the Vice President, Kamala Harris, and her campaign team. They were quick to point out the mistake and ridicule their opponent for such a blunder. Ammar Moussa, the Harris campaign director of rapid response, took to X to express his disbelief, stating "Yikes, top notch operation."
The ad was viewed between 2,000 to 3,000 times, according to Facebook's public ad library, and is currently inactive. The Trump campaign has not yet responded to requests for comment from The Agency.
In the latest polls, former President Trump has a slight lead over Vice President Harris in Georgia. This state, along with six others, is considered critical in winning the November election. It is worth mentioning that in the 2020 election, President Joe Biden became the first Democratic candidate in almost three decades to win the state of Georgia.
Trump has challenged the results of the 2020 election in Georgia and has been charged for allegedly attempting to interfere with the election. However, earlier this month, a state court dismissed two out of ten criminal charges against him in the ongoing case. Despite this, Trump still maintains a 49 percent to 45 percent lead over Harris in Georgia, according to polls conducted by The New York Times and Siena College, released just yesterday.
