President Joe Biden's campaign will spend $50 million through the end of June on television ads featuring former President Donald Trump's felony conviction. The ad campaign signals that the Democratic president will aim to pay more attention to his Republican rival's legal challenges as the November election approaches.

President Biden's campaign team said Monday that it intends to make clear the differences between the two candidates ahead of their first public debate on June 27 in Atlanta.

The campaign features ads aimed at winning the support of African-American, Hispanic and Asian-American voters, as well as a special focus on former President Trump's guilty plea to 34 criminal charges in the New York trial. Advertisements will be aired on mainstream television, cable, internet and mobile platforms in key states for the electoral battle.

In addition to former President Trump's guilty plea in a New York criminal trial, the ad, titled "Character Matters," notes that he has been found guilty of sexual harassment and financial fraud in other court proceedings. Former President Trump faces further criminal charges in three other trials that are unlikely to take place before the November election.

"In the courtroom, we see the real Donald Trump," a descriptive voiceover says during the ad. Below are pictures of former President Trump during his registration at the Georgia prison, as well as of President Biden greeting voters. "This election is between a convicted felon who is out for himself and a president who fights for your family."

President Biden has also often spoken about former President Trump's guilty plea and criticized him when he said the decision was politically motivated. President Biden says that "it's dangerous, irresponsible for someone to say they were manipulated, just because they didn't like the decision."

President Biden's son, Hunter Biden, pleaded guilty in Dellauer to three felony charges related to the 2018 purchase of a handgun that prosecutors said he lied on federal forms about not being a drug user. The president has said that he will accept the result and that he will "continue to respect the judicial process while Hunter considers the possibility of an appeal."

A central element of President Biden's re-election strategy is highlighting former President Trump's proposed policies for a second term, thereby mobilizing Democrats and independent voters. Still, an ad campaign highlighting former President Trump's conviction on such a massive scale signals renewed efforts to turn former President Trump's legal challenges into electoral issues — a strategy it has been reluctant to pursue until now. now President Biden's electoral team.

"It's a stark contrast and one that matters a lot to the American people," said Biden campaign spokesman Michael Taylor. "And that's why we need to make sure we remind voters every day that Joe Biden is fighting for them, while Donald Trump is running a campaign focused on one person: himself."

Former President Trump has denied any wrongdoing and says, without any evidence, that President Biden or Justice Department officials orchestrated the trial against him in New York for political reasons. The former president and his allies have raised the possibility of retaliating with investigative processes against political opponents when he returns to the White House.

Former President Trump's campaign spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt said that President Biden's administration is "politically using the judicial system against former President Trump" and that the contrast between him and President Biden "will be very clear on the debate stage." .

Over the weekend, former President Donald Trump blamed immigrants for taking jobs and government resources as he attended an event with African-American voting groups and conservative groups in the key swing state of Michigan.

But his strong comments on illegal immigration, which have been an early part of his public message, appear to have served as a common theme in Detroit as he tries to build a delicate coalition between an African-American church and a group that the Anti-Defamation League accuses of having ties to elements of white supremacy.

"People coming from across the border — these millions of people — are causing tremendous harm to our African-American population and our Hispanic population," Mr. Trump told thousands of supporters gathered in a large auditorium.

The former Republican president also made several claims without presenting evidence against the American voting system.

"We must observe the voting. We must preserve the vote," said former President Trump. "The entire election process is very corrupt."

Such rhetoric does not seem to have hurt his level of support among African-American voters.

Among African-American adults, the level of support for President Biden has fallen from 94% when he took office in January 2021 to just 55%, according to a March poll by the agency's NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. of Associated Press news.

About 8 in 10 black voters have an unfavorable opinion of Mr. Trump, with roughly two-thirds saying they have a "very unfavorable" view of him, according to a June poll by the same center.
