The Biden campaign launched an ad Thursday focusing on how the president has experience working with politicians from all parties, featuring clips of well-known Republicans.
The 60-second ad, titled “The Way,” shows clips of Mr. Biden at different points in his career with former President Ronald Reagan, the late Sen. John McCain and former Secretaries of State Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice.
“There was a time in America when we expected leaders to put people over politics,” the narrator says. “When, instead of shouting, people from different parties talked and listened. But, for Joe Biden, compromise isn’t a way of the past.”
The narrator mentions the administration’s bipartisan bills on infrastructure, high-tech manufacturing, veteran health care and gun safety.
“He hasn’t gotten everything he wants, but that’s not how he measures success,” the narrator says. “For Joe Biden, success means lifting everyone in America, no matter where you live or who you voted for, because he is a president for all Americans.”
The ad will run in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, all battleground states. It will be seen during the nightly news and is part of the campaign’s $25 million ad buy in swing states.
It comes before the president’s speech in Arizona Thursday which will focus on democracy and honor the legacy of McCain, who died in 2018.
