And on Tuesday, Senator Rick Scott, Republican of Florida, released a television ad to be aired in Iowa that baselessly accuses Mr. Biden of corruption, echoing Mr. Trump’s unfounded attacks on the former vice president.
Mr. Biden has spent the past two days pushing back against Ms. Ernst’s remarks, fund-raising off them and releasing a digital ad on Tuesday. At a campaign event in Sioux City, Iowa, on Wednesday, Mr. Biden pointed to Mr. Scott’s ad as further evidence that Republicans were trying to derail his candidacy.
“A senator from Florida, sitting in Washington, has decided to start running negative ads against Joe Biden just days before the Iowa caucus,” Mr. Biden said. “What do you think that’s about?”
He then laughed.
“Look, it’s simple,” he continued. “They’re smearing me to try to stop me, and they know if I’m the nominee, I’m going to beat Donald Trump like a drum.”
