Donald Trump and 2020 Democratic hopeful Mike Bloomberg to square off with Super Bowl commercials tomorrow
As if one head-to-head competition wasn’t enough with the Super Bowl, billionaires Michael Bloomberg and Donald Trump will go head-to-head with game day ads for their presidential campaigns.
Both of the ads were released Thursday, and will be aired in the big game on Sunday.

Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s ad features a mother who speaks about her son George’s love for football.
“He would wake up every Saturday ready for the game. That became our life. He had aspirations about going into the NFL,” she says.
In a heartbreaking turn, the mother reveals her son was shot and killed.
“Lives are being lost every day. It is a national crisis,” the mother says.
Text in the ad says: “2,900 CHILDREN DIE FROM GUN VIOLENCE EVERY YEAR.”

The mother then speaks about how Bloomberg is fighting against gun violence, and her support for him as a candidate for the presidency.
In a square off, President Trump is also set to air an ad for his campaign.
“America demanded change, and change is what we got,” a voice-over on Trump’s ad says.
The voice-over adds: “Under President Trump, America is stronger, safer, and more prosperous than before.”
News reel snippets then relay things like unemployment rates during Trump’s presidency, before a clip of Trump speaking at a rally ends the video, as he says “The best is yet to come.”

The ads were both released this week in the midst of impeachment hearings in the Senate.
Friday, two Republican senators sided with Democrats in a vote to use witnesses in the impeachment trials.
The two votes were not enough, however, thwarting Democrat’s attempts at using witnesses and essentially ensuring Trump will be acquitted Wednesday.
