Ahead of New York's April 19 primary, Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton released a paid TV ad Monday that directly attacks not her primary opponent, Bernie Sanders, but Republican frontrunner Donald Trump.
It's the first ad of Clinton's that explicitly mentions Trump's name, rather than just alluding to him, Politico reports.
