There are more than four months until Election Day, but June effectively kicked off the general election advertising season, with a huge uptick in presidential ad spending. Biden, for example, just began his general election ads days ago.
The content of the ads themselves is both brutal and representative of this unique 2020 campaign — playing out during a pandemic, an economic collapse, and massive protests against systemic racism. But as the ads demonstrate, the campaign also features two old candidates, the oldest nominees in American history.
In case you are keeping track:
CIA to launch nationwide recruitment ad campaign to 'excite' Americans to apply | Fox
CIA Director Gina Haspel gives first major speech in new role; Lucas Tomlinson reports from the Pentagon.
The Central Intelligence Agency on Monday is expected to launch its first-ever streaming recruitment ad in an effort to “excite” Americans to apply.
The CIA told Fox News that they are launching the ad campaign, titled “Discover the CIA: Your Nation Is Counting On You,” to “offer a glimpse" of their global mission.

"Content such as this, which also illustrates ludicrously bad firearms practices, implies that hunting is wrong and something to be afraid of," spokesman Tim Gale said.
"Hunting is a major recreational activity in New Zealand, nearly 200,000 people hunt and they do so responsibly and humanely."

Whether for small game like rabbits or ducks or big game species like deer or wild pigs, hunting served as an important animal management and conservation function, as well as providing food and outdoor activity, he said.
Booker and McGrath Intensify Advertising Blitz in Kentucky - The New York Times
Amy McGrath had already built a $41 million war chest to take on Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, in what was shaping up to be one of his toughest re-election campaigns yet. But over the past week, Ms. McGrath has pumped more than $3.1 million into television ads in the suddenly competitive Democratic primary, flooding television screens across the state at a scale often reserved for the general election.
Her opponent in Tuesday's primary, Charles Booker, a 35-year-old black state representative, has roared into contention in recent weeks, picking up the endorsements of major progressive figures like Senators Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, as well as endorsements from Kentucky's largest newspaper.
While you're here, how about this:

The campaign was coordinated by the Anti-Defamation League, the NAACP, Color of Change, Free Press and Sleeping Giants, an organization behind many successful ad boycott pressure campaigns in recent years.
“We are asking all businesses to stand in solidarity with our most deeply held American values of freedom, equality and justice and not advertise on Facebook’s services in July,” the campaign’s website states.
Lincoln Project launches new ad hitting Trump over rally turnout | TheHill
In the ad, a narrator mocks Trump over the crowd size at the BOK Center on Saturday, which ended up being well below the arena's capacity and far short of the massive crowds promised by the campaign.
"Hey Donald — your campaign manager told you that 1,000,000 fans wanted to come to your first big rally. Turnout in Tulsa? A dud," the narrator says. "You've probably heard this before, but it was smaller than we expected."
