WATCH: Biden’s Democratic rival releases hilarious Bigfoot ad, poking fun at President’s lack of campaign efforts
Democratic Challenger Releases Engaging Ad Featuring Bigfoot’s Search for President Biden in New Hampshire
Rep. Dean Phillips (D., Minn.) has launched an ad that brings a touch of mystery and humor to the presidential race. In the ad, Bigfoot, an expert on elusive creatures, takes on the challenge of finding President Biden in New Hampshire during the primary season. With a $300,000 buy, the ad criticizes Biden for his absence in the Granite State, according to Politico. To complement the ad, Phillips’s campaign has also created a “Not in New Hampshire” website, providing statistics about Biden’s limited presence in the state.
“I’m something of an expert on elusive creatures, so I challenged myself to find President Biden in New Hampshire during this primary season,” Bigfoot declares in the ad. “I thought I was good at hiding, so I asked around, ‘Have you seen Joe?’ I mean, how can you have tens of thousands of people looking for you all the time and not one person finds you?”
Interestingly, Bigfoot claims to have spotted Rep. Dean Phillips “everywhere.”
It’s worth noting that incumbent presidents running for reelection typically don’t prioritize campaigning in primaries. While President Donald Trump held a rally on the eve of the 2020 Republican primary in New Hampshire, President Barack Obama did not campaign there in early 2012.
In an attempt to modify the primary election schedule, the Democratic National Committee, at Biden’s urging, sought to place South Carolina’s primary before New Hampshire’s. However, New Hampshire officials, determined to maintain their status as the first primary in the country, ignored the policy and scheduled their primary before South Carolina’s. As a result, Biden chose not to appear on the ballot, aligning with the committee’s new rules. Although Biden’s allies are encouraging write-in votes for the president, the unsanctioned primary will not impact the nomination as DNC officials have stated that delegates will not be awarded based on its results.
As the new year began, President Biden embarked on a national campaign. He delivered a speech in Valley Forge, Pa., originally planned for the anniversary of the Capitol riot, but rescheduled due to weather. Additionally, Biden spoke at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C., where a tragic mass shooting occurred in 2015. During the speech, pro-Palestinian protesters interrupted, but were eventually escorted out by security.
What role does New Hampshire play in shaping the trajectory of the presidential race, and why is it important for candidates to engage with voters in this state?
The state. The ad aims to captivate viewers with its unique approach while drawing attention to what the campaign perceives as a significant issue.
The use of Bigfoot in the ad adds an element of intrigue and curiosity.

By choosing to critique Biden’s limited presence in New Hampshire, Phillips’s campaign raises important questions about a candidate’s commitment to engaging with voters in crucial states. New Hampshire is traditionally important due to its role as the first primary state, shaping the trajectory of the presidential race. Voters in the Granite State expect candidates to connect with them personally, understand their concerns, and address their issues on the campaign trail. Biden’s perceived absence in New Hampshire could potentially impact his image as someone who is genuinely dedicated to understanding the needs and desires of all Americans.
The $300,000 ad buy signifies the campaign’s belief in the effectiveness of this approach. By investing a significant amount of resources into broadcasting the ad, Phillips aims to capture the attention of viewers and shed light on what he sees as a crucial issue in the presidential race. The candidate hopes that the ad will create a buzz and provoke a larger conversation about the significance of candidates’ presence in key primary states.
Complementing the ad with a “Not in New Hampshire” website further emphasizes the campaign’s position. By providing statistics and information about Biden’s limited presence in the state, the website seeks to bolster the argument made in the ad. It becomes a resource for voters who want to dig deeper and assess for themselves the veracity of the claims made against Biden regarding New Hampshire.
