The Trump campaign will run a pair of television ads late Thursday that slam President Biden’s record and his physical and mental abilities, and even ask if the Democrat “makes it four more years in the White House.”

The ads will run in swing states and Washington, D.C., during the presidential debate. Former President Donald Trump and Mr. Biden are squaring off in Atlanta in their first debate late Thursday on CNN.

“When you think about the Joe Biden you saw in the debate, ask yourself a question: Do you think the guy who was defeated by the stairs … got taken down by his bike … lost a fight with his jacket … and regularly gets lost … makes it four more years in the White House?” one 30-second ad says over clips of Mr. Biden stumbling on Air Force One and falling off his bike.

“And you know who’s waiting behind him, right?” the narrator says over a clip of Vice President Kamala Harris laughing.

The other 30-second spot is a more traditional political ad that targets Mr. Biden over price inflation and illegal immigration.

“Are you and your family safer since he became president? Is our country more secure since he became president?” the narrator says. After four years of failure under Joe Biden, it’s time to make America prosperous and strong again. Donald Trump for president — again.”

Mr. Trump is leading or tied with Mr. Biden in polling heading into the summer party conventions.

Democrats are hopeful Mr. Biden will pull ahead as the race comes into focus.

Mr. Biden has been hammering Mr. Trump as a threat to democracy, pointing to his role in whipping up supporters before they attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The Biden campaign is leaning into Mr. Trump’s situation as a convicted felon after his hush money trial in New York.
