Biden's New $14 Million Ad Blitz Begins With Attack On Trump's Plans To 'Terminate' ACA

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden’s campaign is launching a new $14 million ad blitz in the half-dozen likely swing states, kicking off Wednesday with a spot going after his predecessor for wanting to “terminate” the Affordable Care Act.

“Donald Trump is openly running on a platform of terminating the ACA, ripping away a lifeline for tens of millions of Americans,” campaign communications director Michael Tyler told reporters Tuesday. “We’ll be highlighting the contrast on health care loud and clear in our paid spending this month.”

That spending is to include at least $1 million to reach Black, Latino and Asian American voters, including ads on radio stations that cater to those communities.

“We have to reach out to every gettable voter,” said Dan Kanninen, the campaign’s battleground states director.

He added that Trump’s criminal trial on charges in New York, his choice to spend many days not in court playing golf near his South Florida country club, and his inability or unwillingness to woo backers of former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley in the Republican presidential primaries will make it harder for the presumptive GOP nominee to consolidate the support he needs in November.

“The split screen between our two campaigns is only going to sharpen,” Kanninen said. “While Trump is stuck in New York or hiding at Mar-a-Lago, we are expanding and deepening our reach in every critical battleground community.”

The Trump campaign did not respond to a HuffPost query. But Trump himself, as he has frequently, again complained at the end of court proceedings Tuesday that his trial was preventing him from campaigning.

“I’m stuck. I’m here instead of being in Georgia, instead of being in New Hampshire, instead of being in Wisconsin
