President Donald Trump focused on his accomplishment of Criminal Justice Reform during this yearâs Super Bowl.
In a 30-second advertisement aired during the Super Bowl on Sunday, Trumpâs 2020 re-election campaign shared the story of Alice Marie Johnson and her âsecond chance.â
âPoliticians talk about Criminal Justice Reform,â the advertisement reads, adding, âPresident Trump got it done. Thousands of families are being reunited.â
Johnson also responded to the commercial, as she tweeted Sunday evening, âTwo Super Bowls ago I was sitting in a prison cell. Today I am a free woman and my story was featured in a Super Bowl Ad.â
âI will spend the rest of my life fighting for the wrongly and unjustly convicted!â she continued, adding, âGod Bless America!â
Johnson had a life sentence for nonviolent drug offenses but was granted clemency by Trump. Her case was pushed by Kim Kardashian West. Trump previously signed into law the bipartisan First Step Act.
Kardashian West responded to Johnson, writing on Twitter, âSo proud of you!!!!â
The president also tweeted, along with the video, âTogether, letâs KEEP AMERICA GREAT!â

Another 30-second commercial by Trumpâs re-election campaign played during Sundayâs football game, unveiled on YouTube prior to Sunday.
The other advertisement touted the strength of the U.S. economy, as IJR previously reported.
âJust as the Super Bowl crowns the greatest football team, nothing says âwinningâ like President Donald Trump and his stellar record of accomplishment for all Americans,â Trumpâs campaign manager Brad Parscale said, along with the press release of the âStronger, Safer, More Prosperousâ advertisement.
Additionally, Trump was joined by another 2020 presidential hopeful, Michael Bloomberg (D), in airing a commercial during the Super Bowl.
Bloombergâs 60-second advertisement focused on gun control in tackling gun violence in the U.S., as IJR also reported.
Each 30-second commercial for this yearâs Super Bowl cost $5.6 million, totaling a bill of roughly $11 million spent by both Trump and Bloomberg.
