The Biden campaign has recently enlisted film star and vocal Trump critic Robert De Niro for an advertisement aimed at highlighting Donald Trump's mental stability. The ad portrays Trump as someone who has lost control since his presidency and has become increasingly erratic following his loss in the 2020 election. It suggests that Trump is now attempting to cling to power by any means necessary, even going as far as threatening to act like a dictator and disregard the Constitution.
This ad is just one component of the Biden campaign's broader strategy to intensify their criticisms of Trump in the weeks leading up to the upcoming debate. Sources close to the campaign have indicated that they believe emphasizing the message that Trump has 'snapped' will help rally Democratic voters and boost enthusiasm for Biden's candidacy.
On the other hand, the Trump campaign appears unfazed by these attacks, projecting confidence in their own messaging. Trump's aides have expressed their belief that the core issues of immigration and the economy will continue to dominate the race, regardless of the format or timing of campaign events. They also maintain that these factors will ultimately have a greater impact on voters than any attempts to alter perceptions of Biden's performance on camera.
