In response to Biden's decision to pull down negative TV ads as POTUS is hospitalized due to Covid-19, Trump’s director of communications said they will not make a similar move

It seems like Donald Trump’s campaign is not ready to put down its baton against rival presidential candidate Joe Biden in the run-up to the presidential elections. As per media reports, the Trump campaign is not planning to make any move to put down negative television ads. CNN reported that in response to the Biden campaign’s decision to pull negative television ads while POTUS is hospitalized due to contracting Covid-19, Trump’s director of communications, Tim Murtaugh told CNN that the president’s campaign will not make a similar move.

Murtaugh tweeted on October 2 lashing at Biden, “Joe Biden used his speech in Michigan today to attack the President repeatedly on Social Security, the economy, and job creation. Now Biden wants credit for being magnanimous?”

On October 2, Joe Biden's campaign pulled all negative ads and went to go all positive after Trump was diagnosed with Covid-19, a campaign aide told CNN. This decision by the Biden campaign was made before the White House announced that Trump will go to Walter Reed medical center.After it became public that the Trump campaign will not put down negative television ads, this caused a furor on the Internet. People lambasted Trump and some praised Biden. 

CNN political analyst Joe Lockhart wrote, “Biden campaign pulls down all negative ads. Trump campaign is not doing the same. No surprise here." A user quipped, “Rachel Maddow expects Trump campaign will stop running negative Biden ads.” A user said, “Joe Biden continues negative ads please! Trump is up to no good.” Another wrote on Biden's move and how it can affect him politically, “Biden campaign knows this isn't a joke right now, and that Trump has significantly and rapidly worsened in just the opening day of it.” 

Some cornered Biden, “Now that Trump and his wife have been diagnosed with Covid-19, it's fascinating to see all the mean-spirited people on the far left, having instant and miraculous healing of conscience. And now they all want to "play fair." Amazing. I wonder how long it will last?” Some lauded Biden, “Thank you to  Biden and his campaign.. that’s respect for The Office.. regardless of who’s in it.. too much animosity in the past few years.. we need to come together.” Another wrote on Biden’s decision, “Joe Biden let Trump talk crazy abt his sons and wanna be nice to him? Boy them negative ads woulda got vicious soon as the official news dropped about him being sick.”

Another user wrote bashing Trump, “Joe Biden please continue to show Americans who Trump really is! You can’t stop! Remember we have to fight for our lives. I’m actually pissed that you have stopped the ads. Fight for your life!”
