Washington— President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign is spending $50 million through the end of June, a blitz that includes its first television ad trumpeting Donald Trump’s felony conviction and signals that the Democratic incumbent is seeking to make his Republican opponent’s legal woes a bigger issue heading into November.
The advertising push comes with Election Day still months away. But Biden’s campaign says it wants to more clearly define the choice between the candidates ahead of the first debate between them in Atlanta on June 27.
The ad campaign includes more than $1 million geared toward media reaching Black, Hispanic and Asian American voters and a spot highlighting Trump’s conviction on 34

Well, there's 50 million down the drain. I wonder how many votes Trump will pick up as a result of these ads?

PDT should counter with an ad showing the 1st family of grifters, with the convicted felon son, as they brag on him!

Biden doesn't have a single positive thing to run on so all he can do is trash Trump.

Go ahead and buy ten times as many ads. There is a point of diminishing returns that most Americans reached long ago. People like FJB who cheat, take bribes, and lie obsessively get tuned out and ignored. The more they shout, the more they are despised. Ignorant, lying noisemakers. Ess tee eff yoo.

Then PDJT needs to counter with the Cadaver's many gaffes and misteps. The latest being his wandering off during the G7 summit of losers. Along with fake news media presstitutes like Joey and Mika bending over for the democrats while trying to tell us that Biden is fine and in control.

Since the left always overplays their hand, I'm on the same page as #6. If Trump-bashing is all they've got, that's already old; he's been doing that for years now and President Trump just keeps getting stronger. His fear of PDJT is the only message he has and that's not resonating with the voters. Most people are reaching the conclusion that Bragg's case against the President was bogus through and through. So... good job joey!!! 50 million dollars flushed down the drain.

Thanks, Joe. I don't think the media covered this "conviction" at all. Obviously, you need to tell the voters.
Sarcasm key now off.

So he's reaching out to those who don't already know Trump was convicted? Those would be the people living in a box with no tv, Internet or cell phone service. I'm pretty sure everyone else already knows.

The democrat party is the very definition of madness: doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result each time. Instead of realizing that their message has been rejected, they double down on the very same message because the people are just too stupid to accept it. Trump’s conviction brought his campaign nearly a half a million dollars in less than a week. What do you think a constant reminder of that conviction will bring in?

By all means, give maximum exposure to the concept that, if they can railroad a billionaire ex-president, they can do the same to you. With the greatest of ease.

This is getting pitiful. They still don't get it, do they? Yeah, go ahead, spend $50 million bashing Trump. In fact, make it $100 million. That should do it./s

I'm almost afraid to say that this could be a colossal blunder for them.I hope it is. President Trump's popularity only increased as the truth about this travesty of Justice was publicized.

What is going on with the reported “mistrial” motion in NYC? A juror obviously revealed that they were going to convict before a vote was taken. The judge is corrupt, we well know, but this verdict should have been vacated by now. Is he stalling to help Biden with this ad blitz, since every day they call Trump a felon is a good day for libs, except with voters who understand the fix was in. Come on Merchan, vacate the verdict.

Trump's ad to counter this should be showing how Joe Biden will not be a convicted felon for stealing classified documents over his 50 years in government due to his inability to answer simple questions and that the Special Prosecutor felt that he was too feeble and incompetent to be prosecuted (or something like that). Trump could also counter Biden's ads with an ad stating the Democrats in New York wanted to get Trump so badly that they passed a "special law" enabling E. Jean Carroll to sue him. The Manhattan DA also twisted several laws more than a sidewalk pretzel and ignored even more in order to bring charges against Trump that would have won any writer a Pulitzer Prize for their creativity in order to charge him with and get a conviction of 34 felonies which nobody still understands what he was convicted of!

They're going this route? Let's see some Hunter Biden ads and how a person's children are a reflection of their parents.
