Biden Kicks Off $30 Million Ad Blitz With Spot Touting Accomplishments
HuffPost
“Donald Trump believes the job of the president is to take care of Donald Trump," he says in the ad. "I believe the job of the president's to fight for you."
Wasting no time building momentum from his State of the Union speech, President Joe Biden on Friday announced a $30 million ad blitz over the next six weeks in seven key battleground states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
On Saturday, the president’s reelection campaign unveiled the first ad to be aired during the television offensive. “For You,” the one-minute spot, focuses on acquainting the public with Biden’s successes, and contrasting his commitments with those of former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
“Look, I’m not a young guy. That’s no secret,” Biden says while speaking directly to the camera. “But here’s the deal. I understand how to get things done for the American people.”
Biden then ticks through a list of what he sees as some of his biggest achievements: shepherding the country through the end of the COVID-19 pandemic; presiding over an economic recovery; capping insulin at $35 a month for Medicare beneficiaries; passing an infrastructure bill; and passing “the biggest law in history to combat climate change, because our future depends on it.”
Wherever relevant, Biden intersperses descriptions of his accomplishments with jabs at Trump’s record.
