Donald Trump’s campaign marked the one-week countdown to the Nov. 8 election with the release of a new ad Tuesday night, featuring the Republican nominee’s “closing argument” to voters across the country.
The 30-second spot, titled “Choice,” will air in major broadcast markets across the country through next Tuesday’s election, in which the political fate of Trump and Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton will finally be determined after their bitter general election battle.

“At the end of the day, this election is simply a choice between the stale, failing policies of the past, and Mr. Trump’s bright, positive vision of the future,” senior communications adviser Jason Miller said in a statement released by the Trump campaign.
“The overwhelming majority of Americans believe our country is headed down the wrong path, and this is the direct result of eight years of failures both at home and abroad by the Obama – Clinton administration,” he added, predicting that voters will choose Trump’s “platform of unifying common sense reforms over the careless, disqualifying, corrupt behavior of Hillary Clinton” next week.
The latest ad comes on the heels of the FBI’s decision last Friday to revisit its investigation into Clinton’s handling of classified material after uncovering more than 650,000 emails belonging to Huma Abedin, Clinton’s deputy chief of staff at the State Department, on the laptop she shared with her estranged husband, Anthony Weiner. The disgraced New York congressman had been under investigation for his alleged inappropriate relationship with a 15-year-old girl.
“The investigation is the biggest political scandal since Watergate, and it’s everybody’s hope that justice at last can be delivered,” Trump has said at multiple rallies since FBI Director James Comey announced his reopening of the Clinton email probe.
Despite the last-minute FBI blow to Clinton, the former secretary of state maintains a narrow lead of 2.2 percentage points in the latest RealClearPolitics polling average. Trump will head to Florida on Wednesday for a triple-header of campaign rallies as he looks to boost his support among voters in the must-win battleground state in the waning days before the election.
