With its war zone imagery and macho voiceover it could be a movie trailer — but the sunglasses-clad star of a new campaign ad is none other than 80-year-old US President Joe Biden.
The message is simple: the Democrat’s support against Russia’s brutal 2022 invasion shows global leadership, while Republicans including Donald Trump have wobbled all over the place on the issue. Airing as Biden attends the G20 summit in India — which Russian President Vladimir Putin is skipping — the ad shows photos of Biden taking a train from Poland to Kyiv “under cover of night.”
“In the middle of a war zone, Joe Biden showed the world what America is made of. That’s the quiet strength of a true leader who doesn’t back down to a dictator,” the ad concludes.Biden is struggling with tepid approval ratings and low visibility ahead of a possible rematch with airtime-hogging Trump next year.
It’s also airing as the US Congress is to debate whether to keep funding Ukraine, with some Republicans threatening to block the latest tranche. Republican candidate Ron DeSantis stumbled earlier this year when he downplayed Russia’s invasion as a “territorial dispute”. Upstart rival Vivek Ramaswamy has called on Ukraine to make “major concessions” to Moscow.
