President Joe Biden's campaign plans to underscore former President Donald Trump's conviction in his New York hush money trial before next week's debate.
The campaign announced its plan Monday to spend $50 million on ads in battleground states emphasizing what it is describing as the “central dynamic of the race,” that Biden fights for the American people, “while Trump only cares about himself.”
“Trump approaches the first debate as a convicted felon who continues to prove that he will do anything and harm anyone if it means more power and vengeance for Donald Trump,” Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler wrote in a statement Monday., and it’s why his entire campaign is an exercise in revenge and retribution: because that man is blind to the people a president should be serving and will do absolutely anything for his own personal gain and for his own power,” Tyler said.
The 30-second ad, called “Character Matters,” reminds voters that Trump was criminally convicted last month on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to cover-up his alleged extramarital affair with porn star, in addition to earlier being found civilly liable for sexual assault and financial fraud, according to the Biden campaign. The spot will air on battleground state markets and national cable.
“The ad makes clear that Trump’s status as a convicted felon isn’t just a label — it’s a reflection of a spiraling and unhinged man who will do anything for power, revenge, and retribution,” the campaign wrote in a press release.
