Heated exchange that marks the escalation of the 2024 presidential campaign, former President Donald Trump’s team has sharply criticized President Joe Biden’s latest advertisement, “Character Matters.” The Trump campaign has labeled the ad, part of Biden’s substantial $50 million media push, as a desperate diversion from Biden’s own weaknesses and vulnerabilities.
The contentious ad emphasizes Trump’s recent legal troubles, including his conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records. However, Trump has vehemently denied any wrongdoing and intends to appeal the verdict, a stance prominently covered by Fox News on June 17, 2024.
Trump’s Counterattack
Karoline Leavitt, the national press secretary for the Trump campaign, issued a scathing statement condemning the ad. She described it as a calculated effort to manipulate public perception rather than addressing real issues.

“The Biden campaign’s latest ad once again proves the sham trial was always meant to be election interference, but Americans see through it,” Leavitt declared.
She further pointed out polling data indicating Trump’s lead in critical battleground states and significant support among independent voters. Leavitt drew a stark contrast between Trump’s perceived strength and Biden’s alleged failures and dishonesty.
Biden’s Fundraising and Media Strategy
Meanwhile, President Biden continues to amplify his media presence and voter engagement through expansive advertising efforts and high-profile fundraising events. Over the weekend, Biden raised a staggering $28 million at a star-studded fundraiser in Los Angeles, showcasing his robust financial backing and support from Hollywood elites.
However, Leavitt dismissed Biden’s focus on character, asserting that it diverts attention from substantive policy discussions. She also referenced a recent incident where Biden was reportedly led offstage by former President Barack Obama, suggesting this as a sign of Biden’s inadequacies.
