Former President Donald Trump’s campaign has sent a cease-and-desist letter to a progressive super PAC, alleging it ran a misleading digital ad showing clips of the former president urging voters not to vote early by mail.

The 30-second advertisement, paid for by super PAC PA Values, shows old video clips of the former president telling voters not to vote by mail. It opens with the text on screen: “MAGA PATRIOTS LISTEN TO OUR PRESIDENT!”
