"Americans deserve a president who doesn’t back down from a fight, and that’s Joe Biden," campaign communications director Michael Tyler said in a statement.
The ad is the latest element in a multipronged effort by the president, his campaign and allies.
Two Democratic sources confirmed to Fox News that top Biden campaign officials worked to calm concerns and fears as they huddled privately on Friday at a previously scheduled meeting in Atlanta with top party donors.
The Biden campaign held a conference call Saturday with committee members and other officials of the Democratic National Committee, two Democratic Party sources confirmed to Fox News.
The call was described as an effort to reassure party officials and demonstrate that the Biden campaign is communicating with its allies.
And starting during the debate on Thursday night, Biden's campaign repeatedly highlighted throughout the weekend what it described as record-breaking fundraising both during and after the debate.

Trump, in a nationally syndicated radio interview that aired Monday morning, emphasized that "this thing was a monster," as he pointed to the debate.
"It was just very important," he added as he joined conservative radio host and Trump ally John Fredericks.
The comments were Trump's latest in his victory lap following Thursday's debate.
"He studied so hard that he didn’t know what the hell he was doing," Trump said of Biden's week-long debate prep ahead of the showdown, as the former president spoke at a large rally Friday in Chesapeake, Virginia.
Trump took aim at his Democratic rival, calling the president "grossly incompetant."

Looking forward, Trump campaign senior adviser Chris LaCivita told Fox News that "from the campaign standpoint, it's just added rocket fuel… it helps greatly in terms of not only raising money and motivating the troops, but creates issues clearly for the Democrat nominee."
Asked by Fox News if they'd start running ads with debate clips, LaCivita answered, "I don't discuss ad strategy but duh!"
But as of Monday morning, neither the Trump campaign nor MAGA Inc., the leading super PAC supporting the former president's campaign, had launched new ads using debate clips.
A source in Trump's political orbit told Fox News "how much do we need to do while they are busy committing suicide," when asked about whether ads would be forthcoming.
