Biden’s Arlington photo was not taken as part of campaign

A 2020 Joe Biden campaign ad featured a May 31, 2010, photo of Biden at Arlington National Cemetery.

The day that Arlington National Cemetery picture was taken, Biden was acting as vice president, delivering a speech and participating in a wreath-laying ceremony.

The ad contained a disclaimer that said the use of Defense Department footage does not imply the endorsement of the U.S. military or the Defense Department.
