Robert De Niro Narrates Biden Campaign Ad Warning Against Second Trump Term
Actor Robert De Niro features in a newly released ad by President Biden’s campaign, intended to remind voters of the turmoil experienced during Donald J. Trump’s presidency. It suggests that a potential second term for Trump would exacerbate the challenges.
Part of Biden’s $14 million advertising push in May, the ad will be broadcast on TV and digital platforms in battleground states and national cable channels. De Niro, known for his vocal opposition to Trump’s presidency, lends his distinctive voice to the ad’s narration.
Ad Content and Message
The ad starts with De Niro’s voice accompanying images of Trump amid the 2020 coronavirus pandemic and Black Lives Matter protests. He accuses Trump of “desperately trying to hold onto power,” and warns that he could rule as a “dictator” if re-elected in 2024, suggesting he might even want to “terminate the Constitution.”
An excerpt from a Trump campaign rally is also included in which the former president says, “If I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a blood bath.”
Biden Campaign’s Strategy
Biden’s campaign aims to remind voters that the upcoming November election is primarily a choice between Biden and Trump, despite their historical unpopularity. The campaign plans to frame Trump as dangerous and unhinged, focusing on the chaos he caused during his tenure.
In the run-up to the first big reminder of this choice, a debate in Atlanta on June 27, Biden’s campaign will highlight key issues like abortion, democracy, and economic fairness. The campaign will underscore the Supreme Court’s decision in overturning Roe v. Wade on June 24, and the deadly shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando on June 12, 2016.
