The Biden campaign immediately launched an attack ad against their Republican rivals, focusing on their stance on abortion. The ad featured clips of Donald Trump, Tim Scott, and Ron DeSantis, who have stated that they support restricting abortion.
The ad begins by showing Trump crediting the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade with the appointment of justices. It then shows footage of DeSantis signing an abortion restriction in Florida. It also shows Tim Scott talking about his pro-life stance.
The ad urges women to make their own decisions regarding their bodies, and it states that the last individuals who should be involved are politicians. The Biden campaign also believes that women should have the final say over their reproductive health.
Democrats have been enraged by the Supreme Court's decision to allow state-level restrictions on abortion, but they have also used this issue to their advantage in the midterm elections. In traditionally conservative areas, pro-choice initiatives were able to pass. The Biden campaign hopes to capitalize on this anger by launching an attack ad against their Republican rivals.
During the recent debate in Milwaukee, the Republican candidates emphasized their pro-life stances to appeal to the voters of the party. Nikki Haley, who is a former UN ambassador, said that a consensus was needed to pass national abortion limits. Mike Pence, the former vice president, criticized her position. He claimed that consensus is not leadership. Pence supports restricting abortion after 15 weeks.
The Biden campaign will use these arguments against the Republican candidates. The campaign will also launch an ad campaign focused on digital platforms in states that will be crucial in the presidential elections in 2024. The goal of the campaign is to reach voters in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina.
Julie Chavez Rodriguez, Biden's campaign manager, criticized the Republican candidates for their stance on abortion. She noted that the majority of Americans support the position of Biden and Harris, who both believe that the Roe v. Wade should be put into law.
