President Biden made headlines last week when it was announced that he would not continue the tradition of offering a presidential interview during the halftime of the Super Bowl.
Instead, the White House released a 48-second video on social media featuring Biden talking about “shrinkflation.”
Many social media users were quick to point out that the issue at hand was largely caused on Biden’s watch; a byproduct of inflation. “The lack of self-awareness here is truly remarkable,” opined The Blaze’s Sara Gonzalez.
Joe Biden’s team was not the only presidential campaign hoping to capitalize on the biggest sporting event of the year. President Trump released a clever, football-themed campaign ad calling out GOP rival Nikki Haley for past comments she made about increasing social security “to reflect life expectancy.”
Lastly, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who exited the Democratic primary to run as an independent candidate, dropped $7 million to air a campaign ad during the big game modeled after one of his uncle John F. Kennedy’s popular ads.
Kennedy was forced to issue an apology after one of his cousins blasted the advertisement for using images of JFK and RFK, citing his “deadly healthcare views” as justification. RFK, Jr. deflected responsibility from the PAC-published production, but his campaign features the video prominently as their “pinned” post on X (formerly Twitter).
Even one of Trump’s closest allies, Steve Cortes, praised the video by writing, “Fantastic ad by Kennedy! Nostalgia, catchy, optimistic. So far he’s taking more votes from Biden, but we on the Right shouldn’t sleep on RFK.”
With the primaries winding down, the historic three-way race between Trump, Biden and Kennedy is unlike anything we have seen since Ross Perot. Only this time, it’s Democrats who stand to lose the White House.
