The top super PAC backing Joe Biden is continuing to bombard Pres. Trump on the airwaves, with a new ad set to start running in key battleground states targeting the president’s coronavirus response.
The new ad, first shared with ABC News, will start airing on Tuesday across states that were crucial to the president’s victory in 2016, including Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, with nearly $2 million behind it as part of a $70 million ad buy the group placed ahead of the convention, Priorities officials said.
Tune into ABC at 1 p.m. ET and ABC News Live at 4 p.m. ET every weekday for special coverage of the novel coronavirus with the full ABC News team, including the latest news, context and analysis. On Monday, the Trump campaign announced they’ve filed a lawsuit against local TV station WJFW-NBC of Rhinelander, Wisconsin, for airing a Priorities USA ad titled “Exponential Threat,” which they claim"contained intentionally false and defamatory statements about President Trump."
President Donald Trump gestures while he speaks during the daily briefing on the novel coronavirus, at the White House on April 13, 2020, in Washington. The new spot is the latest example of Priorities USA and other pro-Biden groups battering the president on the air over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic -- an aggressive attack strategy that’s left some allies of the president frustrated over the inaction of their own major super PAC America First Action.
The outside group, which has long been running a parallel campaign to ready the battlefield for the eventual nominee since 2016, announced in early 2019 a $100 million campaign targeting Trump -- planning to spend that massive sum before the Democratic convention, which is now slated for August.
