US Presidential Election: Biden launches media campaign targeting Trump as a ‘convicted criminal’

President Joe Biden has launched an aggressive attack as part of a media campaign against his opponent former President Donald Trump. This media campaign is part of his reelection campaign as he fights to secure a second term in office. Most national polls have indicated a neck to neck competition between the two candidates. The advertisement which is part of the media campaign tears into Trump by describing him as a ‘convicted criminal’ even as it extols Biden’s term in office by describing his various achievements. This advertisement has been launched ahead of the first debate on June 27 in Atlanta between the two candidates.

It shows a clip of Trump in a courtroom and a narrator describes Trump as a convicted criminal saying that he has been convicted on 34 counts of felony, found liable for sexual assault and committing financial fraud. The ad also shows Biden working towards the welfare of all Americans. It adds that Biden has reduced the cost of healthcare and has forced big corporations to pay their dues, something which had been neglected before.

The 30 second ad concludes with the message that this is an election between a convicted criminal who is only fighting for himself and Biden who is fighting for all Americans. This faces the risk of retaliation from Trump and his team who have targeted Biden over his state of health and his capabilities.
