The super PAC backing President Trump has targeted $10 million in ads attacking Joe Biden in three key states.
The new ads are at least partly a response to complaints by a number of Republican operatives and Trump backers that the organization has been too slow to act, leaving the president without political cover as he has beenRecent polls have shownduring the coronavirus crisis, although he has enjoyed much less of a rally-round-the-leader boost than prominent governors or officials in other countries such as Great Britain or Germany.
One Trump ally familiar with the super PAC, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the group has been too lax but welcomed the news of the ad buy targeting Biden.“Biden is a mistake machine. He looks so feckless right now,” the person said."[It’s] time for the PAC to highlight it, the contrast versus Trump as commander.More than half of the spending will target Pennsylvania, with $5.
In response, one of the main Democratic groups supporting Biden, Priorities USA, announced it was throwing an additional $1 million behind its initial $6.6 million buy in those states as well as Florida and extending“Trump is failing the country as a leader during the biggest crisis of our lives. It has always been inevitable that the Trump team would attempt to cover up his dangerous incompetence by attacking Joe Biden,” said Guy Cecil, the group’s chairman.
“With Donald Trump’s super PAC stepping into this race, we will not let Vice President Biden go undefended. We will do whatever we can to both hold Trump accountable during this time of crisis and help Joe Biden get elected in November.”
