President Joe Biden’s campaign is intensifying its focus on Donald Trump and his role in the January 6, 2021, riot, seizing on the presumptive Republican nominee’s Capitol Hill appearance Thursday to launch a new attack ad spotlighting the insurrection. The campaign recently announced Biden’s endorsements from several January 6 police officers — who are stumping later this week in battleground Wisconsin — and now is unveiling a 30-second ad accusing Trump of inciting the Capitol attack. “There’s nothing more sacred than our Democracy, but Donald Trump’s ready to burn it all down,” a narrator says in the 30-second spot, which the president’s reelection campaign said would air in battleground states during local news broadcasts on Thursday. The ad is part of an ongoing 7-figure ad buy in battleground states, a campaign official said. The spot coincides with Trump’s planned visit to Capitol Hill for strategy sessions with House and Senate Republicans. Although he won’t be inside the Capitol building, it is Trump’s first time meeting with some key Republicans since the attack, including Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell. Though Trump said during a rally that preceded the attack on January 6, 2021, that he was planning to march to the Capitol to join the rioters, he did not ultimately make the trip. Instead, he watched the events unfold on television from the White House.
