The latest advertisement from the Biden campaign will be broadcasted in Phoenix, Atlanta, Detroit, Las Vegas, Raleigh, Philadelphia, and Milwaukee. It will also air during prime time on broadcast networks and is anticipated to be shown on national cable news.
Julie Chavez Rodriguez, campaign manager for Biden, stated that this advertisement will bring attention to the decision voters will have to make in 2024. They can either choose Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans who prioritize the interests of big pharmaceutical and insurance companies over affordable healthcare for hard-working Americans, or they can choose President Biden who is committed to reducing healthcare costs for families and lowering the prices of prescription drugs.
