Recently, the president announced that his political action committee (super PAC) would cover the costs of certain advertisements that had received criticism from both political parties. However, officials later clarified that this change would apply to future ads, not the ones already aired. Despite the controversy, a new ad funded by taxpayers was broadcast on Tuesday.
