Do you think this Biden commercial that takes place in The Villages, Florida will change any minds?

It’s ok to skip the background and just watch the ad. It won’t affect your understanding of the ad.

Background: The Villages, FL is a 55 and up community/city that is talked about a lot regarding politics and covid. It has a population of over 120,000 and about 45% are registered Republicans, 35% registered Democrats. Supposedly, 70% of The Villages voted for Trump in 2016. I’m not sure if that is accurate, because often reports are based on Sumter County numbers, and The Villages crosses three counties. Either way, it’s heavy with Republicans and Trump supporters.

Florida is a swing state, the vote for Trump was only 1.2% apart for Trump over Hillary (49% to 47.8% respectively). Every vote counts.

Here is the ad: https://www.wmfe.org/new-biden-ad-features-grandparents-in-the-villages-focuses-on-coronavirus-response/161286?__s=ze7msnp9t6qqssvty14x&utm_source=drip&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Summer+cool+down%3F

I haven’t seen it on television yet, but I know about it because it went out in an email that I subscribe to for happenings around The Villages. Recently, I’ve seen people at major road intersection for Biden with signs and people have Biden signs on their houses and golf carts.
