Joe: I promise you that as president, I will never put politics over the care of our nation's vetera

President Trump keeps attacking the U.S. Postal Service, and now hundreds of thousands of veterans aren't getting their life-saving medications on time. It's despicable.

I promise you that as president, I will never put politics over the care of our nation's veterans.

New: More than 2 dozen vets and half a dozen VA pharmacy staffers told me they're seeing veterans' USPS mail-order prescriptions delayed by weeks.

"We are swamped with patient complaints over delivery delays," one VA pharmacy chief said.

not getting their meds in a timely fashion. Show photos of them young, when they were serving this country, then a current picture with a caption showing either what their illnesses are or the meds they need to take.

I realize not every single condition will have been caused by their time in service, but that's not important.

Perhaps some ads should have the vet saying "I voted for Trump in 2016, and I had no idea he would turn against us like this."

Lots of possibilities. Joe Biden simply making promises won't reach that many people. They need to do hard-hitting ads.
