New Biden Ad Savages Trump for His Recent Pelosi/Haley Gaffe

President Biden’s reelection campaign released a 60 second ad about Donald Trump’s recent public gaffes, particularly where he confused presidential rival Nikki Haley with Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi. 

Biden’s ad, posted to X (formerly known as Twitter), includes a caption: “I don’t agree with Nikki Haley on everything, but we agree on this much: She is not Nancy Pelosi.”

At a recent New Hampshire rally, Trump—during a meandering tangent about the January 6th insurrection—said “Nikki Haley” repeatedly when attempting to refer to Speaker Pelosi in service of a conspiracy theory that Pelosi refused Trump’s offer to deploy the D.C. National Guard in the lead-up to January 6th.

As Haley herself pointed out at her own rally the next day, she was neither a member of government nor in Washington D.C. at that time. 

Haley also referenced other high profile gaffes by Trump, including his repeated references to former President Obama instead of Biden.

The first 20 seconds of the ad splices footage from Trump’s rally and Haley’s. For the remaining 40, it includes additional clips of the ex-president rambling about identification being required by grocery stores to purchase bread; driving on roads made of paper; a mass death of whales; and U.S. veterans not using cell phones.

The ad constitutes the latest attempt by President Biden to shore up a perceived vulnerability with voters: the notion that Biden, unlike Trump, is cognitively unfit for office.

Though some Americans question Trump’s mental fitness, more consistently question Biden’s despite Trump’s numerous high profile gaffes.
