CNN: “Joe Biden’s campaign is debuting its first general election television ad in Texas on Tuesday, dipping its toes in a state long considered a Republican stronghold and one that’s seen an uptick in Covid-19 cases in recent weeks.”
“The minute-long coronavirus-focused spot, titled ‘Tough,’ is part of a new mid-six figure broadcast and digital advertisement buy, a Biden campaign official said, with state customized ads slated to run in Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, as well as Texas — all states that have seen recent rises in coronavirus cases. The spot makes no mention of President Donald Trump by name, but Biden advisers intend for the ads to draw a stark contrast with the President’s handling of and messaging around the coronavirus pandemic.”
