Newswise — The Biden campaign released a new ad highlighting former President Donald Trump's 34 felony convictions and other legal troubles, framing the election as a choice between a "convicted criminal" and a president fighting for families.
The campaign also announced a $50 million ad spend for June, targeting diverse voter groups to counter positive perceptions of Trump’s presidency and emphasize the risks of his potential second term.
