Biden campaign hits Trump on 'boring' football comments ahead of NFL draft [View all]

President Biden’s reelection campaign unveiled a digital ad ahead of Thursday night’s NFL draft, calling out former President Trump for saying football is “boring.”

The 20-second video opens with Trump saying at a rally that “football is boring as hell” and a photograph of Biden with Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce during a visit to the White House after winning the Super Bowl last year.

It also includes Trump saying “nobody cares about football because of it… it’s boring” and shots of Biden holding a football with players. “Make the right pick in November,” the ad concludes.

The video dropped on X shortly before the first round of the NFL draft kicked off in Detroit. It aimed to highlight that “Biden is a proud football fan, cheering alongside the over 120 million Americans who watched this year’s Super Bowl,” according to the president’s campaign.
