Mitt Romney is up with another TV ad in Virginia and other key swing states of North Carolina, Ohio and Iowa.

“Day One, Part Two” is the sequel to his first “Day One” ad released just days ago. The new ad picks up where the last one left off, adding to his list of promises that included approving the Keystone XL Pipeline and beginning to dismantle President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul. 

In “Part Two,” the narrator says Romney will announce deficit reductions, “ending the Obama era of big government, helping secure our kids’ futures,” and stand up to China on trade and demand “they play by the rules.” 

Romney also pledges to begin “repealing job-killing regulations that are costing the economy billions.”

The Romney campaign will reportedly spend nearly $2 million to air the new ad in the four states. Like the first ad, the new one was also released in Spanish.
