Jonathan Swan: After pausing their multimillion-dollar advertising campaign to review their strategy, the Trump campaign plans to launch new ads on Monday depicting Joe Biden as a puppet controlled by the radical left, according to two senior campaign officials.
The Trump campaigns most recent internal polls show the puppet of the left attack on Biden is beginning to resonate with voters
And it sets the campaign up to attack Bidens vice presidential selection.
Team Trump is trying to persuade voters that if they vote for Biden, theyre not actually electing this amiable, moderate old man. The only way they believe they can sufficiently toxify Biden is to convince voters that hes an empty vessel to be filled by the policies of the radical left.'
