Trump’s campaign website announced two new television ads that will air during the first presidential debate on CNN Thursday night.
The ads will appear in battleground states and Washington, D.C., according to a news release from Trump’s campaign.
“Promises,” the first ad is titled, “slams Crooked Joe Biden’s disastrous record that has destroyed the booming Trump economy, imported over 11 million unvetted illegals from all over the world into our country, destabilized America’s national security, and led to a surge in violent crime across our nation,” according to his campaign.
A second ad entitled “Who Is Laughing Now?” features President Joe Biden falling off a bicycle, tripping up the stairs of Air Force One and struggling to find his way off of a stage.
“When you think about the Joe Biden you saw in the debate, ask yourself a question: Do you think the guy who was defeated by the stairs… got taken down by his bike… lost a fight with his jacket… and regularly gets lost… makes it four more years in the White House?” the ad asks.
The ad concludes with another concern held by many voters related to the vice president.
“And you know who’s waiting behind him, right? Vote Joe Biden today and Kamala Harris tomorrow,” it states.
The ads reinforce themes Trump expects to address during the first presidential debate related to the economy, illegal immigration, national security, and crime.
Trump’s campaign also received encouraging news from a newly released New York Times/Siena poll released on Wednesday, which showed the 45th president up four points among likely voters and six points among registered voters.
The survey also showed Trump’s advantage over Biden growing, with his lead increasing by eight percentage points since April.
The Thursday debate is expected to play a pivotal role in the 2024 presidential race. Trump will face strong opposition from Biden and CNN moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, both longtime opponents of Trump.
The 90-minute event includes several unique rules, including no live studio audience and muted microphones when it is not a candidate’s turn to speak.
