Biden Ad Warns Trump Could Govern As King After New Supreme Court Ruling

President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign warned in a new ad that Donald Trump could be unbound if he returns to the White House following this week’s Supreme Court ruling giving presidents expansive immunity from criminal prosecution.

“Nearly 250 years ago, America was founded in defiance of a king, under the belief that no one is above the law, not even the president — until now,” says the narrator in the ad, which was released ahead of the Independence Day holiday.

“The same Trump Supreme Court that overturned Roe v. Wade ruled that the president can ignore the law, even to commit a crime — because Donald Trump asked them to,” the narrator adds. “He’s already led an insurrection, and threatened to be a dictator on day one. Donald Trump can never hold this office again.”

Biden’s campaign said the ad will air in battleground states and on television networks that draw younger, more diverse audiences, including ESPN, Bravo and Comedy Central.

In a controversial 6-3 decision Monday, the Supreme Court’s conservative justices shielded Trump from legal liability for some of his actions leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, namely those that were “official” in nature, such as his conversations with Justice Department officials.

The high court sent the case back to a lower court to determine what conduct alleged in his indictment for election subversion is immune from prosecution. This includes his pressuring of local officials to create fraudulent slates of electors in states he lost in the 2020 presidential contest.

But the decision was viewed largely as a victory for Trump, effectively making a trial on his election subversion charges impossible before the November 2024 election.

Biden slammed the ruling Monday,
