It’s Guy Cecil’s job to criticize President Trump, but that’s become a much more complicated job than it was a month ago thanks to the coronavirus pandemic.
WASHINGTON – It’s Guy Cecil’s job to criticize President Trump, but that’s become a much more complicated job than it was a month ago, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic.
“I want the president to be successful. I don't want 100,000 people to die. I want this administration to be truthful. I want them to get the equipment that they need to the places where it needs to be,” said Cecil, chairman of super-PAC Priorities USA. Priorities USA Action, an arm of Priorities USA, spent $190 million in the 2016 presidential election on Hillary Clinton’s behalf. Over the past week, they’ve put about $7.5 million behind TV and digital video ads critical of the president’s response to the pandemic in the five key states that will likely decide the 2020 election: Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida and Arizona.
Story continuesCecil said Priorities tried to walk a fine line between making a case that the president’s leadership has been unsatisfactory, without going too far. “In politics, there's always this sort of itch to go over the top and I don't think that's necessary here,” he said. “We are using the president’s words. This isn't another political figure coming on and making some argument. It’s not a black-and-white scary narrator.
But Cecil said that historic comparisons to past crises, when the American people have often rallied around the president at moments when the nation is tested, are “a little bit different than the situation we find ourselves in.” The White House press briefings have evolved into marathon sessions that often last much longer than one hour. They are scheduled for late afternoon and spill into the early evening, putting Trump in viewers’ homes during prime time.
