Biden for President

"Build on VAWA" +

:60 TV ad from week of Nov. 18, 2019 run in Des Moines and Cedar Rapids, IA, also run digitally in Iowa.


[Music] Biden (voiceover):  I'm Joe Biden and I approve this message.

[clips from town hall]  [Applause]  You have someone like myself who's gone through domestic violence, been physically and mentally broken down, and then one day you read in the newspaper that a senator that you don't even know is fighting for a bill to be passed to help women like myself, to keep us safe and to provide transitional housing—because I was homeless due to domestic violence.  Joe Biden became my hero that day because he didn't even know me and he was fighting for me and my son Michael even though he didn't know it.  He means so much to me because of that.  I really believe in Joe Biden, and I hope he makes it to the White House.  I don't hope because I know he's going to make it to the White House 'cause he's an amazing person.  [cheers, applause]
