President Joe Biden's 2024 presidential campaign will resume the political advertising it had suspended following the shooting at Donald Trump's Pennsylvania rally on Saturday, Reuters reported on Tuesday.
The Biden-Harris campaign respectfully suspended ads containing more aggressive political messaging targeting Trump after Secret Service agents killed the young Republican shooter, whose motives are still being investigated.
Trump almost immediately re-appeared in public, both with and without a bandage covering his ear--first on the golf course on Sunday and then again on Monday at the kickoff for the Republican National Convention.
The decency was not returned from the far-right, who had jumped to immediately blame the shooting attack on Democrats, with some pointing the finger directly at the Democratic President without any evidence.
Thomas Crooks, 20, was a registered Republican son of a Libertarian gun owner, so MAGA is still trying to figure out how to spin that into the left's fault.
As a result of the MAGA response and Trump's miraculous recovery, it was clear President Biden was ready to get back on message.
Biden-Harris campaign spokesperson Jen O'Malley Dillon released a vicious takedown of Trump's shiny new distraction-as-VP, JD "Hillbilly Effigy" Vance, almost immediately after the announcement from the RNC stage:
"Donald Trump picked J.D. Vance as his running mate because Vance will do what Mike Pence wouldn’t on January 6: bend over backward to enable Trump and his extreme MAGA agenda, even if it means breaking the law and no matter the harm to the American people.
"This is someone who supports banning abortion nationwide while criticizing exceptions for rape and incest survivors; railed against the Affordable Care Act, including its protections for millions with preexisting conditions; and has admitted he wouldn't have certified the free and fair election in 2024."
Expect the Biden-Harris campaign to resume its $50 million push to remind voters of Trump's lies in connection with his criminal convictions in May on charges of election interference and business fraud. Trump was found unanimously guilty by a New York jury on all 34 felony counts against him.
Trump has denied he paid hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniels and his former mistress Karen McDougal to avoid a sex scandal before the 2016 election.
He also lied that he "never had sex with a porn star" at his now-infamous debate with President Biden, just one of his many lies that went unchallenged by the media that night.
Trump still faces sentencing in September despite his attorneys' attempts to have the jury's decisions overturned in the wake of the SCOTUS immunity ruling.
