Former President Donald Trump’s team has fired back at a Mother’s Day ad released by President Biden’s campaign, labeling it “disgusting.” The ad, which runs for about 40 seconds, was shared by the Biden-Harris HQ on its X page on Sunday. In the ad, the Democratic campaign criticizes Mr. Trump for his family separation border policy and his stance on abortion.
The ad includes clips of the former president discussing his family separation policy and his views on abortion, including his recent interview with Time Magazine where he mentioned that states could monitor women’s pregnancies to check for abortions. The ad urges people to “Stop Trump” to honor mothers on Mother’s Day.

Steven Cheung, a Trump spokesman, responded to the ad by stating, “What a sad, miserable, cowardly existence Crooked Joe Biden and his campaign must have to release such a disgusting ad on such a joyous day.” He also suggested that the Biden campaign suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome, claiming that President Trump continues to live rent free in their minds.
Biden-Harris spokesperson Lauren Hitt emphasized the importance of the election for all Americans, especially mothers. Hitt stated, “Families depend on moms – and moms deserve a president they can depend on to protect their rights, work to lower their costs, and fight for them. Donald Trump wasn’t and isn’t that president, but Joe Biden is.”
The opposing viewpoints presented in the ad and its response from Trump’s team reflect the deep divisions in American politics, especially on issues related to immigration and reproductive rights. As the election approaches, the debate on these topics is likely to intensify, with both sides seeking to appeal to voters based on their positions on these important policy matters.
