Republican Congressman David Joyce of Mentor boasts in a TV commercial that he stood up to President Donald Trump to protect Lake Erie, one of the first commercials in the country in which a GOP lawmaker breaks with Trump.
In a 30-second advertisement which aired on cable TV and shown digitally, Joyce said he “won the fight” to finance what is known as the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative “and when President Trump tried to take it away, I said no again.”
“I’ll do what’s right for northeast Ohio even if means standing up to my own party,” said Joyce. The commercial then declares, “Dave Joyce Stood Up to President Trump.”
The commercial, which has been airing this month, is a sign that some Republicans are trying to distance themselves from Trump, whose national job approval rating dropped to 41 percent in a Quinnipiac University survey released Tuesday.
