Arizona among states Biden chooses for ad slamming Trump over virus response
By Jim Small | Arizona Mirror
Former Vice President Joe Biden is going on the attack in Arizona and other battleground states with a new ad accusing President Donald Trump of being asleep at the switch as COVID-19 ravaged the country, and devastated the economy.
The new digital spot, released Monday, will run on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, Axios reported, citing the Biden campaign.
“We have an economic crisis because we have a public health crisis, and we have a public health crisis because he failed to act,” Andrew Bates, the Biden campaign’s rapid response director, told Axios this week.
The Trump campaign fired back, calling the spot a “factually inaccurate attempt to be relevant by Joe Biden,” according to Axios.
