The video includes various clips of President Donald Trump insisting the coronavirus is a a hoax and would soon disappear, “like a miracle.” The clips were juxtaposed with news about job losses and COVID-19 deaths.
“When there’s so much fear in this country, we need honest, trusted, truthful, reassuring leadership,” Biden says at a rally during the primary campaign.
The ad features clips of Trump attacking Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell, whom Trump sarcastically called “a real beauty.” Trump also suggested her husband, former Rep. John Dingell, was in hell.
Meanwhile, Trump’s campaign stopped buying ads in Michigan, where recent polls show him trailing Biden by 10 points.
"For every person who’s been knocked down, counted out, left behind, this is your campaign," Biden said a rally featured in the ad. "Let’s take this back now."
