[Washington / London, 2nd Reuters]-According to Reuters, Senator Kamala Harris, who is aiming for the Democratic nomination of the US presidential election in 2020, has recently used the word "impeachment" in Facebook ads. There seems to be an aim to clarify the confrontation with Mr. Trump.
Reuters analyzed Facebook ads on September 24-30 for Democratic candidates gathered by a project on the transparency of online political advertising. As a result, Mr. Harris referred to the word “impeachment” with 420 advertisements, the most among Democratic candidates.
Harris is a female candidate with Jamaican and Indian parents. In the last few weeks of polls, the approval rate has been sluggish. It seems to be trying to roll back by emphasizing the confrontation with Mr. Trump.
On the other hand, as for Biden, as a result of a Reuters investigation of Facebook pages between May and September, there were no ads using the word “impeachment”.
Next to Harris, the most popular advertisement using the word “impeachment” was Senator Booker, followed by Senator Sanders.
