In the ad, Carlos Gutierrez, the former Cabinet official, talks about how he has been a Republican all his life but can not bring himself to vote for Donald Trump.
“Vote for Trump? I can’t”, the Cuban-born Gutierrez says into the camera. The ex-secretary, who served in the Bush administration for four years, is now co-chairman of the Albright Stonebridge Group advisory firm.
“I’m the first president to visit this part of Orlando, and I thank you for that”, said former President Bill Clinton, who spoke to voters Wednesday at the Dr. James R. Smith Community Center, located in the middle of the predominantly African-American and low-income Washington Shores neighborhood. Gutierrez is just the latest of several prominent Republicans nationwide to endorse Clinton, as her campaign sharpens its pitch to GOP-leaning voters unsettled by Trump.

In addition to the ad featuring Gutierrez, the Clinton campaign released another Spanish-language ad on Wednesday, this one set to air in both Florida and Nevada. “For me, country first, and then [political] party”. “We need you to vote, to go out and talk”, he said.
