Ahead of President Biden's Speech at Valley Forge, His Reelection Campaign Launches the Ad "Cause"

With President Biden due to deliver a major address at Valley Forge on the anniversary of the Trump-inspired Domestic Terrorist Attack at the Nation's Capitol on January 6, 2021, his reelection campaign team has released an ad called "Cause" in the battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

The ad starts with the President saying: 

"I've made the preservation of American Democracy the central issue of my Presidency." 

The ad further quotes the President and Vice Presidents' commitment to free and fair elections, unhindered by MAGA Republican suppression tactics. 

The President then pivots and discusses that "there is something dangerous happening in America." With pictures of white nationalist events, MAGA Trump rallies, and the January 6, 2021, Domestic Insurrectionist Attack on the Nation's Capitol in the background, the President goes on to say:

"There's an extremist movement that does not share the basic beliefs in our Democracy."

Mr. Biden then calls the citizens of the country to action, asking:

"What will we do to maintain our Democracy? History is watching. The world is watching. Most importantly, our children and grandchildren will hold us responsible...I ask every American to join me in this cause."

The President, in a Humphrey-Reagan-Clinton-Obama opportunistic approach, concludes the ad by stating:

"America is still a place of possibilities where the power resides with we the people. That's our soul. We are the United States of America. There is nothing beyond our capacity when we act together."

Commenting on the ad in a press release, Biden/Harris Campaign Manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez wrote:

“Led by Donald Trump, MAGA Republicans are running on an extreme platform of undermining the will of the American people who vote in free and fair elections, weaponizing the government against their political opponents, and parroting the rhetoric of dictators in service of forcing their extreme, unpopular agenda. Over the last three years, MAGA Republicans haven’t shied away from the Big Lie – they’ve doubled down. This ad serves as a very real reminder that this election could very well determine the very fate of American democracy.”
