Robert De Niro Stars In Biden’s Pre-Debate Ad Blitz
HuffPost
The Biden campaign wants to emphasize the stakes of the election ahead of the June 27 face-off with Donald Trump.
The Academy Award-winning actor Robert De Niro narrates a new campaign advertisement for President Joe Biden, kicking off a series of highly-produced TV and digital spots leading up to Biden’s first debate with former President Donald Trump in Atlanta on June 27.
In the 30-second video ad, De Niro, a long-time Democrat and vehement Trump critic, lays out examples of erratic and authoritarian behavior showing Trump “out of control” as president.
Noting Trump’s refusal to concede the 2020 election, De Niro argues Trump’s behavior worsened after losing to Biden. The former president’s conduct from Nov. 2020 onward highlights the threats to American democracy that would come from a second Trump term, according to the renowned star of “The Godfather Part II” and “Raging Bull.”
“Now he’s running again — this time, threatening to be a dictator, to terminate the Constitution,” De Niro says, before a clip of Trump warning of a “bloodbath” if he loses. “Trump wants revenge, and will stop at nothing to get it.”
Trump indeed threatened a “bloodbath” if he lost, but the ad takes his words out of context. He was specifically referring to the negative effect his defeat would have on the U.S. automotive industry.

Republicans who oppose Trump's Cabinet nominees could find themselves with a lump of coal — or a primary challenger — in the next Congress.
