As the Harris campaign gears up for the highly anticipated debate in Philadelphia, their strategy seems to be centered around getting under their opponent's skin and highlighting his insecurities. A new ad released by the campaign takes aim at the former president's obsession with crowd sizes, using familiar messenger Barack Obama to drive home the message.
The ad portrays the former president as a 78-year-old billionaire who can't seem to stop fixating on trivial matters like crowd sizes, painting a picture of someone more concerned with personal grievances than the issues facing everyday Americans. By strategically airing this ad in Philadelphia and West Palm Beach, the campaign hopes to capture the attention of the former president and the wider audience.
Aside from the ad strategy, the vice president is set to use the debate as an opportunity to outline her policy vision for America and introduce herself to a broader audience. With many Americans still in the process of getting to know her, this presents a crucial moment for the vice president to connect with voters and showcase her plans for addressing the pressing issues of the day.
