A new television ad unveiled Sunday by President Trumps reelection campaign committee accuses the presidents enemies of trying to undermine his success in office.

The 30-second spot, produced six months into Trumps term, targets Democrats and the news media, and touts what the campaign says are successes that the president has managed to achieve, including a low unemployment rate and record stock-market closes.

It comes as Trump faces a widespread backlash for not denouncing white supremacists by name for their role in Saturdays violence in Charlottesville.

Democrats obstructing. The media attacking our president. Career politicians standing in the way of success. But President Trumps plan is working, the narrator says.

Photos of several Democratic politicians are featured in the spot, including Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (N.Y.), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.), Rep. Maxine Waters (Calif.) and HouseMinority Whip Steny H. Hoyer (Md.).

The ad includes a montage of television hosts, including Joe Scarborough, Rachel Maddow and Brian Williams of MSNBC, and Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon of CNN, among others.

The presidents enemies dont want him to succeed, the ad says, but Americans are saying, Let president Trump do his job.

In a statement, Trumps campaign said the ad will air on cable news shows and the Internet.
