(The Guardian) Biden campaign announces $50m ad push to pummel Trump over felony conviction ahead of first debate
In 10 days, Donald Trump and Joe Biden will hold the first of two scheduled debates at CNN studios in Atlanta. Ahead of their 27 June encounter, the president’s re-election campaign announced it will be spending $50m on television advertisements to remind voters that the former president is now a convicted felon.
“Trump approaches the first debate as a convicted felon who continues to prove that he will do anything and harm anyone if it means more power and vengeance for Donald Trump. That’s why he was convicted, that’s why he encouraged a violent mob to storm the Capitol on January 6, and it’s why his entire campaign is an exercise in revenge and retribution; because that man is blind to the people a president should be serving and will do absolutely anything for his own personal gain and for his own power,” said Michael Tyler, the Biden-Harris campaign’s communications director.
