During the lead-up to the highly anticipated presidential debate, Joe Biden's campaign responded to Donald Trump's conspiracy theory about the former vice president taking performance-enhancing substances by introducing a unique fundraising tactic.
The Biden campaign cleverly capitalized on Trump's claims by offering cans of water for sale online at $4.60 each, a nod to the potential 46th president. The cans were adorned with humorous labels, including a faux handwritten 'Dark Brandon's secret sauce' and a 'ZERO MALARKEY' calorie count.
Amidst the buzz surrounding Trump's unfounded accusation that Biden would be using performance enhancers, the Biden team took a lighthearted approach. A tweet from Biden's account playfully referenced the speculation, stating, 'I don’t know what they’ve got in these performance enhancers, but I’m feeling pretty jacked up. Try it yourselves, folks. See you in a bit.'
Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., further fueled the narrative by suggesting that Biden's refusal to take a drug test was an implicit admission of guilt. He questioned why Biden would decline such a simple test if he wasn't using drugs to boost his energy levels.
The back-and-forth between the two camps added an element of intrigue to the debate, with Trump's team doubling down on the claims and Biden's team leveraging the situation to engage supporters and raise funds.
