An surge of new paid political ads on Facebook attacking Trump's opponent sparked to life on Wednesday after the president clashed with the Democratic candidate during a debate in Ohio.
Filtering both pages by the word"debate," results show Trump's campaign pushed out a variety of anti-Biden advertisements to regions across the U.S.—many using cherry-picked footage from the televised debate with a series of blunt slogans.
"You don't want to miss this," one banner on a handful of the ads read. The clips largely echoed talking points from the debate, including Trump asserting without evidence that"millions of people" would have died fromAnother Trump video was titled,"Biden is going to eliminate Trump's tax cuts." A third was being spread alongside the claim:"Biden's radical energy policies will kill jobs.
Facebook advertising launched by the Trump campaign on 30 September 2020, following a debate with Joe Bide, a rival in the 2020 presidential election.For comparison, the Biden election campaign does not appear to have launched a new series of ad campaigns in the wake of the debate, at least at time of writing. Its latest ad asserts:"It's official! Joe WON his first debate against Donald Trump.
Facebook data shows Trump's page has spent roughly $48.8 million on Facebook ads in the past 90 days. Biden's page has spent $42.4 million over the same period. Aside from advertising, both Trump and Biden referenced the debate on their personal social media accounts following their chaotic encounter. While Trump went on a major re-tweeting spree, Biden described him as the"worst president we've ever had."
