EXCLUSIVE: Joe Biden's record drags down Democrat in new ad

After months out of the spotlight with very few questions about him, President Joe Biden resurfaced this week in multiple ways.

One such instance came in a new ad by the RGA Right Direction PAC tying Virginia Democrat gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger to Biden and his failed “Bidenomics” agenda.

The ad, exclusively obtained by the Washington Reporter, blames current inflationary woes on Biden and the Democrats who voted for the Build Back Better Act — and suggests that Republicans will continue to blame Democrats for that vote in both the House and in the Senate.

“Inflation during the Biden administration is still being felt across the country,” a narrator in the ad said. “Overall inflation is up nearly 18 percent.”

The Republicans’ ad also attacks Spanberger for voting against the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which remains a top priority of the GOP-led trifecta in Washington, D.C.

“Abigail Spanberger voted for trillions in government spending, fueling inflation and destroying the economy for working families,” Kollin Crompton, the RGA’s Rapid Response Director, said. “Calling a middle class tax cut irresponsible when families needed relief is a slap in the face to Virginians still facing the higher prices Spanberger helped create.”

While President Donald Trump has never won Virginia statewide, Republicans are counting on voters’ opposition to Biden to keep Richmond red in November.

The RGA’s Right Direction PAC cautions that, “Virginia cannot afford Abigail Spanberger.”

The ad comes amid a fight for Virginia’s governor’s mansion after a successful four years by Gov. Glenn Youngkin.

Spanberger is up against Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears for the Old Dominion executive seat.
