Seeking to cut into Trump's margins, Biden launches rural radio ad blitz
Joe Biden’s campaign is launching a rural radio advertising blitz on Tuesday, designed to make inroads in parts of the country where President Donald Trump rolled up towering margins over Hillary Clinton four years ago.
A new 60-second ad, provided first to McClatchy, will begin airing in eight battleground states, focusing on the Democratic nominee’s plan to keep young people from fleeing their small hometowns for big cities.
“As opportunity disappears, so too do our young people,” a narrator says over a strumming guitar. Then Biden’s voice enters explaining why “there’s no reason” jobs can’t flourish outside urban enclaves.
“My plan is to restore — restore the promise of the middle class, for rural America, in rural America,” he says. He lists improved hospitals, reliable broadband and access to federal resources as his solutions.
The ad is set to run in smaller markets outside of metropolitan hubs in Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Arizona and Nevada. It will appear during news, sports and agricultural programming, according to a Biden aide.
