Television and digital market on Monday. The ad is part of a six-figure campaign ahead of the November midterm elections. The ad states that President Trump puts America's seniors first. It cites his efforts to eliminate taxes on Social Security and create a $6,000 tax deduction for seniors, along with policies to make prescription drugs more affordable and keep Medicare and Medicare Advantage strong.
"Seniors rely on our support," the narrator says. "After a lifetime of hard work, they deserve it. " Sean Spicer serves as a senior adviser to Seniors Matter for America. The group formed in January to champion policies that protect promised benefits for seniors, put more money in their pockets, and ensure long-term healthcare.
Spicer said Trump has done more to put seniors first than any president in recent memory. He added that Trump has fought to end taxes on Social Security and protected Medicare Advantage. Trump appeared at an Older Americans Month event in The Villages, Florida, in May. During the event, he said the administration is protecting Social Security and Medicare.
