A new ad from former Vice President Joe Bidens presidential campaign accuses President Trump of shirking responsibility for the federal governments coronavirus response and blasts him for feuding with governors.
The new ad, viewed first by The Hill, is called Buck Stops Here, and it accuses Trump of being obsessed with his critics, rather than with protecting Americans.
The buck stops here, the narrator in the ad says. Harry Truman said it. It means no excuses. It means taking responsibility, the ultimate responsibilities for the biggest decisions in the world. Every great president has lived up to it.
The ad then cuts to remarks the president made at recent briefings, in which he blamed former President Obama for a shortage in testing capacity.
I dont take responsibility for it at all, Trump says in the ad.
The ad also features Trumps remarks in which he describes the federal government as a backup, and says that governors should be taking the lead.
