The moves come as the presidential campaign barrels into the critical last 10 weeks. They represent a bet by Mr. Biden that a focus on Covid-19 will prevail over Mr. Trump’s “law and order” emphasis and his attempt to portray Mr. Biden as a tool of the “radical left.” Mr. Biden’s ads also celebrate the history of peaceful protests. Mr. Biden’s team on Friday made clear that they were determined to prevent Mr. Trump from framing the debate over the violent unrest in some cities and would aggressively move to prevent the president’s narrative from taking hold. “We’re certainly not going to let it go unaddressed,” said Representative Cedric Richmond of Louisiana, who is a chairman of Mr. Biden’s campaign. “I think Americans know it’s false, and we’re going to just have to make sure that they know what our position is.”
