Democratic presidential candidate Tom Steyer is asking Americans to “Talk to Trump” in a new initiative that will feature submitted videos in ads to air on “Fox & Friends.”
“Trump should know how he’s failed you as president — whether that’s on health care, a living wage, gun violence, climate change, or something else entirely,” Steyer’s campaign told supporters on Saturday. “It’s time Trump heard directly from the many, many people around the country who are hurting and frustrated because of his corrupt and cruel administration.”

The ad campaign will run in the days leading up to the October Democratic debate, the campaign said.
It’s the first debate for which Steyer, a billionaire philanthropist, will appear onstage.
Before launching his presidential bid, Steyer built a grassroots movement of more than 8.3 million supporters calling for Trump’s impeachment.
The House launched an official impeachment inquiry into Trump last week amid allegations in a whistleblower complaint that the White House placed calls between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on a highly classified server.
A partial transcript of the call shows Trump asking Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, a leading 2020 candidate.
