Joe Biden’s campaign has enlisted Robert De Niro to narrate his latest ad, one that warns that Donald Trump has “snapped” since leading the White House and wants to “terminate the Constitution.”

The 30-second spot will be part of the campaign’s paid media buy for May, airing in broadcast markets in battleground states and on national cable. It also will be featured on digital platforms in battleground states. The spot will start being show today.

De Niro is one of Trump’s most outspoken critics, speaking out about him on talk shows and in awards appearances, and the actor’s use of expletives often get the most attention.

“From midnight tweets, to drinking bleach, to tear-gassing citizens, and staging a photo op. We knew Trump was out of control when he was president,” De Niro says in the spot.

“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,” he says.

The spot features a clip of Trump saying, “If I don’t get elected it’s gonna be a bloodbath.”

De Niro says, “Trump wants revenge. And he’ll stop at nothing to get it.”

Trump used the term “bloodbath” in a speech in March while talking about the potential loss of auto manufacturing jobs. Trump complained afterward that Biden took his words out of context, construing them as a call for political violence. But Trump used the term again to describe the Biden border policy.

The Biden campaign said that the spot is the start of an effort to spotlight Trump in advance of the first debate, scheduled for June 27 on CNN. Campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon suggested in a memo that Biden would show a contrast with Trump at that event. “Donald Trump said he would debate any time, anywhere, any place — and now he can hear it for himself. If he shows up,” she wrote.

At a rally in New York on Thursday evening, Trump attacked one of the debate moderators, Jake Tapper, and tried to rile up his crown on the notion that the debate would be unfair because of the network.
