New Biden ad hits Trump for feuding with governors over coronavirus

A new ad from former Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign accuses President Trump of shirking responsibility for the federal government’s 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 don’t take responsibility for it at all,” Trump says in the ad.

The ad also features Trump’s remarks in which he describes the federal government as a “backup,” and says that governors should be taking the lead.
