TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Sen. Rick Scott of Florida injected himself into the 2020 presidential race, airing an ad in Iowa days ahead of a crucial caucus by attacking the Democratic-led impeachment trial against President Donald Trump and accusing former Vice President Joe Biden of corruption.
In his 30-second ad, Scott thanks Democrats for “botching this impeachment charade.”“The real story here is the corruption Joe Biden got away with,” Scott says in his ad.
As a U.S. senator and former governor of Florida, Scott would have instant name recognition in his crucial battleground home state.
Biden campaign spokesman Bill Russo accused the Florida senator of peddling the same ``disproven lies'' that has become part of the president’s narrative.
We are less than a week from the Iowa Caucuses, and President Trump is getting worried that the failed smear campaign that got him impeached isn’t working,'' Russo said in an emailed statement.
