Biden: Trump terrified, panickingBy ASSOCIATED PRESShome/News/World/Biden: Trump terrified, panickingNEW YORK: Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s campaign says President Donald Trump’s misleading new television ad is proof that Trump is “in a panic” and knows Biden “would beat him like a drum.”Biden’s 2020 campaign issued a statement Friday (Saturday in Manila) responding to news that Trump is spending $8 million on an ad highlighting the former vice president’s work fighting corruption in Ukraine. The Trump ad highlights Biden’s efforts to make US aid to Ukraine contingent on that country firing its chief prosecutor and claims that the fired prosecutor was investigating Hunter Biden. Biden deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield said in the statement that the new ad campaign is proof that Trump is “in a panic.”She said Trump “is trying to pick his opponent, and he will fail. Donald Trump is terrified of Joe Biden because the Vice President would beat him like a drum.”Trump has consistently trailed Biden in hypothetical head-to-head polls this year. Separately, Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway told reporters that the whistleblower “has protection under the law,” something Trump himself had appeared to question earlier in the day.
