Trump campaign launches ads questioning Biden's age, fitness
President Trump’s reelection campaign launched a series of Facebook ads Thursday questioning Joe Biden’s age and fitness for office, expanding on a personal attack line that Republicans have only floated thus far.
The ads asked if the former vice president, 77, is “too old†to be elected president and saying, “geriatric mental health is no laughing matter.â€
While Republicans have grumbled about Biden’s age and highlighted verbal gaffes and technical difficulties during his events, the Trump campaign’s ads mark the first time it has used ads to explicitly target his overall fitness.
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill regarding the ads.
