The Biden-Harris campaign is set to launch a new ad titled “No Plan” ahead of the first presidential debate. This ad will air exclusively in Pennsylvania and Georgia, as part of the $50 million ad campaign for June. The aim of the ad is to highlight the differences between Biden and former President Donald Trump on economic issues, accusing Trump of being focused on revenge rather than offering solutions to help the middle class.
The Biden campaign has been facing challenges with inflation rates decreasing from 9% in 2022 to 3.4% last month, but prices on consumer goods remaining high. Despite low unemployment rates and consistent job growth, Americans are still feeling pessimistic about the economy. This new ad aims to address these concerns by contrasting Biden’s focus on working towards a better future for all Americans with Trump’s self-centered approach to politics.
Campaign communications director Michael Tyler emphasized the importance of this contrast, stating that Americans deserve a leader who is dedicated to serving their interests. The campaign believes that Biden can beat Trump again in November based on his track record in the 2020 election and his commitment to addressing crucial economic issues head-on.
In previous ads in Pennsylvania, individuals like steelworker JoJo Burgess have been featured to showcase the Biden administration’s support for union workers. The campaign will continue hosting events in Altoona, Erie, and Pittsburgh to keep the spotlight on economic matters, with Mayor Ed Gainey and Allegheny County workers participating in these events.
Recent polling data from The New York Times shows Trump and Biden tied at 46% nationally, but in Pennsylvania, Trump maintains a slight lead over Biden with 48% to 46%. Despite this lead, the Biden campaign remains committed to highlighting the differences between themselves and their opponent on crucial economic issues.
