Sanders hits Biden on Social Security and trade in a trio of new post-Super Tuesday ads
released Wednesday by Sanders’ campaign highlights a union auto worker hailing the senator’s longtime opposition to trade deals. The ad then flashes images of Biden and President Donald Trump as the auto worker criticizes “the banksters that have been robbing us blind and stealing our pensions and destroying our communities.
The ad features tape of Obama describing Sanders as “somebody who has the virtue of saying exactly what he believes” and applauding his work on the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee, where Obama says Sanders “got bills done.” “I think people are ready for a call to action,” Obama says in the spot, which draws upon his old remarks. “They want honest leadership who cares about them. They want somebody who's gonna fight for them. And they will find it in Bernie.”
Sanders had signaled Tuesday evening his intention to focus on Biden’s record on Social Security and his advocacy for trade pacts such as the North American Free Trade Agreement and the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Sanders’ and Biden’s campaigns have traded barbs over those issues during the primary campaign, and they are likely to spar even more aggressively as the race enters its next phase.
“One of us has spent his entire life fighting against cuts in Social Security, and wanting to expand Social Security. Another candidate has been on the floor of the Senate calling for cuts to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and veteran’s programs,” Sanders told supporters in Vermont. “One of us led the opposition to disastrous trade agreements, which cost us millions of good-paying jobs. That’s me. And another candidate voted for disastrous trade agreements.
