With just more than a week until the first presidential debate, President Joe Biden's campaign is increasing attacks on former President Donald Trump's felony conviction, announcing on Monday that it's launching a $50 million ad buy targeting voters in battleground states highlighting the verdict in Trump's hush-money trial.
The 30-second spot, which will air in battleground states throughout the rest of June, trades clips of a smiling Biden greeting voters with shots of Trump scowling in court.
"This election is between a convicted criminal who's only out for himself and a president who's fighting for your family," a narrator says.

"This new ad once again proves the sham trial was always meant to be election interference, but Americans see through it," Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt posted on X in response to the ad.
Since the verdict, which made Trump the first former president convicted of felony crimes, the Biden campaign has steadily leaned in to using Trump's conviction as a strategy to show he isn't fit for office.
The Democratic National Committee launched billboards near a Trump event calling him a "convicted felon," while Biden himself used that language at a Connecticut fundraiser.

Polling since the end of the trial has suggested the conviction harms Trump among voters still making up their minds about their presidential pick.
A Politico Magazine/Ipsos poll published on Monday found that Trump's conviction makes 32% of registered independents less likely to support Trump compared to 12% who said it makes them more likely to support him. Forty percent said it had no impact.
