The 30-second video shows Trump playing golf at his Virginia club Saturday. The footage is interspersed with what appears to be frontline healthcare workers walking into hospital rooms, administering COVID-19 tests at drive-thrus and interacting with patients on stretchers.

There also appears to be a small red bar graph increasing in size as the number of coronavirus-related deaths hovers close to 100,000.

As of Saturday afternoon, the U.S. has recorded 1.6 million confirmed cases of the virus and 96,983 deaths from the disease, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. 

The ad released Saturday night is just the latest push from Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, framing the president's response to the crisis as inadequate.

Earlier this month, the Biden campaign released an ad accusing the president of mishandling the public health crisis and the economic fallout it caused by failing to implement mitigation measures early on in the outbreak. 

“Donald Trump didn’t build a great economy. His failure to lead destroyed one," that ad said.

The Trump campaign has also begun using to ramp up attacks against the former vice president, highlighting what the president's camp says is Biden’s "friendly" stance on China. 

At one point the president said China is "desperate" for Biden to win the election.
