Joe Biden is running a Super Bowl ad for the Iowa caucus by hunterw
DES MOINES, Iowa — Former Vice President Joe Biden is hoping to score some votes during this Sunday’s Super Bowl. His campaign has purchased a 30-second slot to run an ad during the game in Iowa, where the first vote in the Democratic presidential primary is set to take place on Feb. 3, the day after the big game.
“As Donald Trump attempts to meddle in the Democratic primary process with an ad set to air the eve of the Iowa caucuses on Super Bowl Sunday, the Biden campaign will also air an ad to remind caucus goers of their responsibility to ensure we elect a candidate who is the polar opposite of Donald Trump and defeat him next November,” the spokesperson said.
Story continues“It’s said, in here your character is revealed. We saw it with President Obama, we’re seeing it with President Trump,” a narrator says in the clip as it transitions to footage of Biden. “But it’s in life. Where your character is formed, where you’re from, who you love, what you’ve overcome, who you stand with, and who you fight for. Character matters maybe more here than anywhere.”
Both the Trump and Bloomberg campaigns spent $11 million for a minute of national Super Bowl ad time. Bloomberg, who is a billionaire, is using his personal fortune to bankroll a major campaign advertising blitz. The former mayor was a relatively late entry to the Democratic primary race and won’t be on the ballot in Iowa, but he’s hoping his unprecedented ad spending can help him win delegates in states later on the primary calendar that don’t traditionally see heavy campaign competition.
