After weeks of holding back, President Trumps re-election campaign will unleash a series of tailored, swing-state attacks against Joe Biden, targeting him in Florida, Pennsylvania and the industrial Midwest, Axios reports.
The pandemic forced a pause, and a lighter touch, on Trumps original attack plan against his presumed general election opponent.
Advisers warned against too much overt negative campaigning at a time when thousands of Americans are dying and voters want the president focused on running the country.

(43,359 posts)In Pennsylvania, the campaign plans to attack Biden for what it calls "his embrace of the Green New Deal," which they will argue "piles endless regulations" on small businesses and stunts job creation, the officials told Axios.
In the industrial Midwest: Trump's campaign will highlight Biden's support for the North American Free Trade Agreement as a senator and backing of the Trans-Pacific Partnership as Obama's vice president.
The big picture: This targeted approach comes on top of a national strategy, as Axios has reported, to brand Biden as soft on China.
The other side: None of this surprises Biden's campaign, which argues that Trump is vulnerable for mishandling the coronavirus pandemic and weakened because he can no longer brag about the economy.
Biden campaign spokesperson Andrew Bates tells Axios: "Donald Trump so abysmally failed our nation on the coronavirus that almost 80,000 Americans have lost their lives, and the historic economic recovery Trump inherited from the Obama-Biden Administration is now spiraling toward a depression." "There's no desperate ad Trump can dream up that's more horrifying than what his failed leadership is putting the American people through."
The bottom line: The offensive comes as new polls show Trump trailing Biden in key swing states, including Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

(240 posts)it's just been overwhelming over the last 2 months, and I don't think any ad will have the effect that it will be looking for. People are looking for a positive message, and attack ads ain't gonna cut it.
However, that's just my 2 cents
