  • Robert De Niro voices an advertisement for President Joe Biden, urging viewers not to vote for Donald Trump
  • De Niro alleges Trump 'snapped' after losing the 2020 election, and reelecting him could be bad for America

In a recent development, renowned actor Robert De Niro lent his voice to a new advertisement for President Joe Biden‘s campaign, criticizing former President Donald Trump.

What Happened: De Niro, known for his vocal opposition to Trump, narrated a 30-second ad for Biden’s campaign, reported Rolling Stone. The ad, which will air on national cable and TV in battleground states, featured De Niro condemning Trump’s behavior and warning of his potential return to power.

“From midnight tweets, to drinking bleach, to tear-gassing citizens and staging a photo op,” De Niro said in the ad. “We knew Trump was out of control when he was president. Then he lost the 2020 election — and snapped. Desperately trying to hold onto power. Now he's running again. This time threatening to be a dictator. To terminate the Constitution.”

The ad also includes a clip of Trump vowing a “bloodbath” if he loses the election. De Niro concludes by stating, “Trump wants revenge and he'll stop at nothing to get it,” before Biden’s voice approves the ad.

Why It Matters: This ad comes at a crucial time in the political landscape, with the 2024 presidential candidates neck and neck, as per a recent Benzinga report. The ad’s focus on Trump’s potential return to power is likely to resonate with voters, especially in battleground states.
