NAU Linebacker to Appear in New Biden for President Ad During Monday Night Football
Tristen Vance: “I Trust Joe Biden”
Today, Biden for President released a new ad to highlight how Donald Trump’s failed response to the pandemic is shortchanging student-athletes across the nation. The ad will air tomorrow on ESPN during Monday Night Football.
The ad features Tristen Vance, an educational leadership student and football player at Northern Arizona University. Vance’s lifelong dream is to play professional football — a dream he says is now in jeopardy because of Trump’s failure to manage COVID-19.
“Trump’s failure of leadership is why we can’t play right now,” Vance says. “We need a leader who’s going to look out for all of us, to be constructive and build. I trust Joe Biden to do that.”
“I don’t blame President Trump for the virus, but I 100 percent blame him for the response to the virus,” Vance adds.
Back in August, the Big Sky Conference of which NAU is a member announced that due to the pandemic, it would delay its football season until the spring of 2021.
