New Ads Contrast Donald Trump’s Failures and Threats with Joe Biden’s Leadership and Vision
As Americans continue searching for real leadership among a raging pandemic, economic crisis, and civil unrest, Biden for President released new ads that paint a sharp contrast between Donald Trump’s America and Joe Biden’s vision for a path forward. The ads show how Trump fans the flames of division and fuels violence, while Biden would be a leader that unifies the country, tackles our country’s pressing problems head on, and fulfills his commitment to protecting American’s health care during the pandemic.
The ads are part of the $47 million the campaign is spending across broadcast and digital this week, running on national cable channels and in key battleground states, including Arizona, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
“Fresh Start” is a 0:60 ad that shows how Joe Biden can put the darkness of the past four years behind us and start fresh with real leadership. It calls for an end to the anger, division, and violence that Trump has inflamed and shows how Biden’s proven leadership experience can help our country get things done — control the virus, help working families, expand affordable health care access, take on climate change, and protect Social Security and Medicare.
Additionally, as the campaign continues targeted efforts to reach older Americans, it is launching a new 0:30 ad called “Sacred” that calls out Trump for breaking our country’s sacred promise to seniors by proposing to eliminate funding for Social Security, and it emphasizes Joe Biden’s commitment to protecting Social Security and Medicare.

The 60-second ad, “We’re Listening,” begins airing today digitally in Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and will begin airing this weekend on national cable channels and top battleground markets. The new creative features a series of recent remarks given by the Vice President and Sen. Harris that focus on creating a more just society for Black Americans. Joe and Kamala’s remarks speak directly to the harsh realities Black communities are facing, while both acknowledging that Black Americans should be free to live without fear of law enforcement and unwarranted oversight.
“We can’t turn away. Now is the time for racial justice,” Biden said during the ad. “I believe with every fiber in my being we have such an opportunity now to change people’s lives for the better.”
“Part of the point of freedom,” Sen. Harris said, “is to be free from brutality. Free from injustice. Free from racism and all of its manifestations.”
Watch “We’re Listening” HERE.
This is the latest ad that was created to send a message to Black voters that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have a plan to build America back better. “We’re Listening” is part of the campaign’s general election ongoing paid media program, with $45 million being invested in broadcast, radio, and digital this week alone.
