White House hopeful Michael Bloomberg released a new campaign ad on Wednesday hitting President Trump over his administrations response to the coronavirus outbreak.
The 30-second clip splices together media coverage of the spread of the coronavirus and its related impacts on the stock market. The ad argues that Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City, effectively dealt with crises during his oversight of Americas biggest city and would be better able to grapple with the outbreak.
Managing a crisis is what Mike Bloomberg does, says a male narrator. In the aftermath of 9/11, he steadied and rebuilt Americas largest city, oversaw emergency response to natural disasters, upgraded hospital preparedness to manage health crises, and hes funding cutting edge research to contain epidemics.
The ad comes amid an avalanche of scrutiny over the governments handling of the outbreak, which has spread to several continents as it continues to ravage across China.
