The insurgent presidential campaign of former Sen. Mike Gravel is not pulling punches in its ads against former Vice President Joe Biden.
On searches for Biden’s name, the ad tells internet surfers how he is wrong for America and encourages for people to donate to Gravel’s campaign so he can reach the threshold necessary to appear on the Democratic primary debate stage.

“Mike says END ALL WARS,” the donation page states. “Today, Joe Biden is arrogant AND WRONG on almost every major issue of our time: Desegregation. War on drugs. Student loan debt. Medicare and Social Security (he advocated cuts in 2018). And as for climate change? He wants to find middle ground.”
Biden defended his position on the issue of climate change while campaigning in New Hampshire on Monday, pointing to his voting record and advocacy.
In order to qualify to appear at the primary debates, candidates must reach 65,000 unique donors. Gravel’s teen-led campaign says they need to reach 30,000 more donors to qualify.
Do you hear that in the distance? Picking up momentum, scaring the hell out of centrist warmongers?
That sound you hear is the #Gravelanche. With 35k donors and counting, we have a shot at the debates. Your dollar gets us there: https://t.co/R8N3DrihCD pic.twitter.com/RQpJxwP2oh
