Joe Biden might be starting to get under President Trump's skin. The former vice president and presumptive Democratic nominee launched his first general election TV ads this week, and they're — uh, pretty intense!
Despite being just one minute long, the ad manages to hit Trump for "attacking healthcare for patients with pre-existing conditions," "giving massive tax cuts to billionaires," "praising white supremacists," "losing 300,000 jobs in a failed trade war with China," "locking children in cages," and "[ignoring] science on coronavirus … now over 100,000 dead Americans, 20 million jobs destroyed."
