Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s campaign is targeting NFL fans in an advertising blitz on Sunday – 16 days out from Election Day.
Biden’s campaign released four new ads to debut during NFL games this week.
Two of the ads will air during the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Brown game. One ad is called “The Blind Pig,†which details how an Ann Arbor, Mich., bar co-owner’s small business is struggling during the coronavirus pandemic.
“For 50 years the Blind Pig has been open and crowded, but right now it’s an empty room,†co-owner Joe said in the ad. “This is the reality of Trump’s COVID response.â€
“My only hope for my family and for this business and my community is that Joe Biden wins this election,†he adds.
“The Blind Pig†ad will be the first advertisement that The Beastie Boys has licensed music for “because of the importance of the election,†the Biden campaign noted. The band's song “Sabotage†plays in the background.
