Trump Campaign Releases Spanish-Language Ad Condemning Joe Biden's Plan to Redirect Police Funding
The Trump Campaign today released a new Spanish-language ad titled "Peligro" (Danger) to highlight Joe Biden's support for anti-police activists. As left-wing violence threatens the livelihood of citizens and business-owners in America's cities, Joe Biden has refused to condemn his supporters' radical actions. "Peligro" (Danger) features images of the chaos engulfing Democrat-run cities to show the threat of a Joe Biden administration, while emphasizing President Trump's strong actions to re-assert law and order. Only President Trump can stand up to the radical left and defend the American people.
The newly released ad will run on network Spanish-language television and in Arizona and Florida, and is part of the Trump campaign's eight-figure ad buy.
Trump Campaign Launches New Ad On Joe Biden's Submission to the Left-Wing Mob
President Trump’s re-election campaign today launched a new television ad featuring testimonials from multiple police officers on Joe Biden's failure to support our men and women in blue. As Biden's weakness on the issue of law and order has empowered violent rioters and anarchists, President Trump has consistently stood firm in defending our police officers and the American way of life. As the American public saw during Tuesday's debate, Joe Biden was unable to name one law enforcement entity that has endorsed his candidacy. President Trump has been endorsed by more than a dozen police unions and law enforcement groups and is clearly the law and order candidate. This ad is part of this week’s eight figure ad buy and will air on network cable and on local broadcast in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota.

Biden for President Highlights Joe Biden’s Faith in New Ads
Today, Biden for President is launching a paid media campaign centered around Joe Biden’s faith, values, and principles and how they have storied his life like other Americans. The trio of ads will be placed on faith-based TV and radio programs and target faith-interested voters across digital platforms in key battleground states.
In a stark contrast to Donald Trump, who tear gassed protesters to pose for a photo op with a Bible in front of a church, the ads depict how Biden’s faith is deeply connected to his life story and commitment to public service and illustrates why Biden is the clear moral choice in this election.
Airing on Catholic TV programs is “Principles,” which features Biden speaking to Father Matt Malone, S.J., editor in chief of America, about core lessons he learned from his father: stopping the abuse of power and treating everyone with dignity.
Airing on Christian TV programs is “Morning,” an ad that narrates how Biden’s faith has carried him through dark times — like losing family members — but has also given him hope and purpose, which is what the country needs from a leader.
Watch “Principles” HERE.

Additionally, “A Man Guided by Faith” will air on Christian radio networks, which is a powerful, minute-long testimonial from one of Biden’s fellow parishioners. She describes how their sons became friends through Church and still sees Biden attend mass on Sundays to this day, underscoring how his faith motivates his beliefs, values, and what kind of president he will be — learned from his Catholic parents and Church nuns. The campaign has also been running radio ads on gospel radio stations geared towards African American listeners.
These ads highlight the contrast between the common good values of the Biden-Harris agenda, which deeply aligns with the values of people of faith, and the agenda of the current administration, which is based in divisiveness and fear.
The ads will air in a total of 14 states of where the campaign’s paid media program is active — including Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
