President Biden’s reelection campaign dropped a new ad that bashes former President Trump for his threats to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
The 30-second ad, entitled “Terminate,” touts that Biden has protected the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, and worked to expand it. The ad will air on television and digital across battleground states and is part of the Biden campaign’s $14 million ad buy for the month of May, which aims to target Black, Latino and Asian Americans.
“Obamacare is a disaster. We want to terminate it,” Trump said in a clip included in the ad.
“President Biden has protected the Affordable Care Act and lowered health care costs for millions by $800 a year. Now, he’ll make those savings permanent,” the ad reads.
It also includes a clip of Biden saying, “folks, he’s coming for your health care and we’re not gonna let it happen,” referring to Trump.
Trump has vowed to replace Obamacare with his own alternative. The Biden campaign also dropped an ad around the anniversary of the law’s passage in March to underscore Trump’s repeated repeal threats.
“Trump has gone after Americans’ hard-earned health care. Voters want a leader who will protect and strengthen their health care, not try and take it away. That’s why they will send President Biden and Vice President Harris back to the White House this November,” Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said in a statement.
