(The hill) – The Biden campaign on Monday released a battleground state ad that criticizes former President Donald Trump as a “convicted criminal,” highlighting his numerous legal troubles and his recent felony conviction in New York.
The ad, titled “Character Matters,” will run on general market television in all swing states and on national cable. It’s part of a broader $50 million paid media campaign for the month of June and comes less than two weeks before the first debate between President Joe Biden and Trump.
“In court, we see Donald Trump as he is. He was convicted of 34 crimes, found responsible for sexual assault and committed financial fraud,” says the narrator in the 30 second ad as images of Trump in the New York courtroom are played.
“Meanwhile, Joe Biden has been at work, reducing healthcare costs and making big corporations pay their fair share. This election is between a convicted criminal who only defends himself and a president who fights for his family”, concludes the announcement.
The ad marks one of the most aggressive efforts yet by the Biden campaign to attack Trump. your conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records following a weeks-long trial in Manhattan.
This comes as Biden and Trump face off on June 27 for the first of two planned presidential debates. It will be presented by CNN in Atlanta.
“Trump approaches the first debate like a convicted criminal who continues to prove he will do anything and harm anyone if it means more power and revenge for Donald Trump,” Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler said in a statement .
“That’s why he was convicted, that’s why he encouraged a violent mob to storm the Capitol on January 6, and that’s why his entire campaign is an exercise in revenge and retribution; because this man is blind to the people a president is supposed to serve and will do absolutely anything for his personal gain and his own power,” Tyler added.
Trump has criticized the legal system amid his numerous legal troubles, claiming they are being orchestrated by the Biden White House to harm him politically before November. There is no evidence that the White House played a role in the various cases against Trump.
In addition to the guilty verdict in New York, a jury found Trump sexually abused writer E. Jean Carroll in the mid-1990s and later defamed her by denying her allegations, and a New York judge ordered him to pay nearly $355 million in fines in a civil fraud case.
Trump still faces criminal cases in Washington, D.C., Florida and Georgia, although none of those cases appear likely to go to trial before November.
President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, was found guilty last week on three felony charges alleging he lied about using illicit drugs when obtaining a gun in 2018 and then possessed the gun illegally for 11 days.
Trump’s campaign fired Hunter Biden’s conviction as “a distraction” from corruption allegations against the Biden family.
