Biden's New $14 Million Ad Blitz Begins With Attack On Trump's Plans To 'Terminate' ACA
HuffPost
The Biden campaign is starting with a big financial edge, and wants to take advantage of it while Trump tries to catch up and stay out of prison.
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden’s campaign is launching a new $14 million ad blitz in the half-dozen likely swing states, kicking off Wednesday with a spot going after his predecessor for wanting to “terminate” the Affordable Care Act.
“Donald Trump is openly running on a platform of terminating the ACA, ripping away a lifeline for tens of millions of Americans,” campaign communications director Michael Tyler told reporters Tuesday. “We’ll be highlighting the contrast on health care loud and clear in our paid spending this month.”
That spending is to include at least $1 million to reach Black, Latino and Asian American voters, including ads on radio stations that cater to those communities.
“We have to reach out to every gettable voter,” said Dan Kanninen, the campaign’s battleground states director.
He added that Trump’s criminal trial on charges in New York, his choice to spend many days not in court playing golf near his South Florida country club, and his inability or unwillingness to woo backers of former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley in the Republican presidential primaries will make it harder for the presumptive GOP nominee to consolidate the support he needs in November.
