Washington, June 17 (EFE).- The presidential campaign of US President Joe Biden announced this Monday an investment of $50 million in advertisements to expose the recent criminal conviction of his Republican rival, former President Donald Trump.
Biden’s campaign thus goes on the offensive in key states in the electoral contest days before the first presidential debate between the two candidates, scheduled for this coming June 27 in Atlanta (Georgia) and organized by CNN.
“In court, we see Donald Trump as he is,” says the narrator of the Biden campaign ad, who then states: “This election is between a convicted criminal who only thinks about himself and a president who fights for your family”.
In the ad, which reproduces Trump’s mugshot, the narrator recalls that Trump “has been convicted of 34 crimes, found guilty of sexual abuse and has committed tax fraud.”
The video alludes in this way, not only to the criminal case of which he was convicted in New York at the beginning of the month, but also to the civil case for defamation and sexual abuse of the writer E. Jean Carroll, and a third one in which he was fined. for fraud with more than 350 million.
Trump is awaiting his sentencing – which will be announced on July 11 – in the criminal case of which he has been convicted and which involved irregular payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels.
Biden, who has been very cautious about his rival’s judicial problems, first called Trump a “convicted criminal” during a fundraiser in Connecticut on June 4.
The former president has three other criminal cases pending, but it is very unlikely that the trials will be held before the November elections for the White House.
The campaign will invest the 50 million to broadcast the advertisement on television, cable, radio and digital and written media in key states and on national channels during the remainder of June.
Part of the investment is aimed specifically at demographic markets where Latino and African-American minorities predominate. EFE
