The super PAC supporting Donald J. Trump for president has launched a scathing television ad ahead of President Biden’s State of the Union address, taking aim at his age and memory lapses. The ad, titled “Jugular,” aired on major news networks and features footage of Biden struggling to recall events and details.
At 81 years old, President Biden is the oldest president in American history, and the ad questions whether he can even survive until 2029. The ad also highlights moments where Biden appeared flustered and angry, including his response to a report on his possession of classified documents.
The ad is part of an effort by Trump’s allies to paint Biden as weak and unfit for office, contrasting him with Trump’s perceived strength. The tactic of airing ads to provoke a reaction from the president is not new, but this ad takes a particularly aggressive approach.
As the country gears up for the general election, the ad sets the tone for a contentious battle between Trump and Biden, with Trump’s supporters emphasizing strength and Biden’s allies pushing back against attacks on his age and mental acuity. Tonight’s State of the Union address is sure to be a pivotal moment in the ongoing political drama.
