WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign says it’s using a $50 million advertising blitz targeting voters in battleground states to highlight the “stark contrast” between Biden and former President Donald Trump following Trump’s New York felony conviction. The spending through the end of June includes boosting a new ad focusing on Trump’s conviction. The campaign signals the Democratic incumbent is pushing harder than ever to make his Republican opponent’s legal woes an issue. Biden’s campaign said Monday it wants to clearly define the choice between the candidates ahead of their first debate in Atlanta on June 27. Trump’s campaign says the contrast between Trump and Biden “will be very clear on the debate stage.”
