The Biden campaign has released its first television ad directly attacking Donald Trump by framing him as a "convicted criminal" about his recent conviction on charges related to hush money payments. The 30-second ad contrasts images of Trump entering a courthouse for his trial with accomplishments from Biden's presidency, such as lowering healthcare costs. Trump's campaign responded, calling it "election interference" and said polling shows Biden's message is struggling in key states. Biden had previously avoided directly attacking Trump over his legal issues but began referring to him as a "convicted felon" after the jury verdict.
