President Joe Biden’s campaign dropped a brutal Mother’s Day ad on Sunday attacking Donald Trump’s past and proposed policies regarding mothers and women.
It’s six months until the presidential election and Biden has ramped up insults about his political rival Trump, who has relentlessly attacked Biden since his 2020 campaign. With Biden as the Democratic incumbent and Trump the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, November is looking like a heated rematch between the two. One voting block that the Biden campaign is focusing on is women following abortion bans that states have enacted after the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court in 2022.
On Sunday, Biden’s campaign released an ad that started off tranquil with scenes of mothers with their children and the words, “Happy Mother’s Day” written on the bottom.
Then, the screen goes black with only the words, “But not from Donald Trump.”
A clip of Trump talking about his administration’s migrant family separation policy played next: “When you say to a family, that if you come we’re gonna break you up, they don’t come.” Then, a video of a family screaming while being forcibly separated was shown.
As part of Trump’s “zero-tolerance” policy, thousands of migrant children were separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border from 2017 to 2018.
Sunday’s ad then went into Trump’s policies on women’s reproductive rights, telling voters in words written on the screen, “This is how Trump treats mothers.”
In response to the ad, Trump’s spokesperson Steven Cheung told Newsweek via email on Sunday, “What a sad, miserable, cowardly existence Crooked Joe Biden and his campaign must have to make such a disgusting ad on such a joyous day. Their lives are obviously filled with anger, hate, and resentment because they clearly suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome. President Trump continues to live rent free in their pea-sized brains, even on Mother’s Day.”
