President Joe Biden's campaign is ramping up its efforts to highlight Donald Trump's involvement in the January 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol. The campaign has released a new attack ad targeting Trump, accusing him of inciting the insurrection. The ad, which will air in battleground states during local news broadcasts, emphasizes the importance of democracy and criticizes Trump's actions.
Trump's planned visit to Capitol Hill for meetings with House and Senate Republicans has provided an opportunity for the Biden campaign to draw attention to the events of January 6. While Trump did not physically join the rioters at the Capitol, the ad points to his rhetoric leading up to the attack as contributing to the violence.
