On Saturday, President Biden’s reelection campaign released the first ad as part of its $30 million post-State of the Union advertising campaign, in which the president directly confronts concerns about his age.
The ad — part of the campaign’s pivot to the general election — features Biden speaking directly into the camera as he contrasts his record with his likely opponent in November, former president Donald Trump.
“Look, I’m not a young guy,” Biden says at the start of the 60-second advertisement. “That’s no secret, but here’s the deal: I understand how to get things done for the American people.”
The president then outlines his record on curtailing the coronavirus pandemic, passing legislation to reduce health care costs and invest in infrastructure projects. He also criticizes Trump for rolling back reproductive rights, promising to codify Roe v. Wade if legislation passes Congress.
“Donald Trump believes the job of the president is to take care of Donald Trump,” Biden says. “I believe the job of the president is to fight for you, the American people, and that’s what I’m doing.”
