America PAC Launches 3-State Senate Ad Blitz With $100 Million Midterm Lifeline

2 articles · Updated · The New York Times · Sep 8

Summary

  • $100 million or more could flow from Elon Musk’s America PAC into the midterms after it opened a three-state ad campaign targeting Democratic Senate nominees in Texas, Ohio and Iowa.
  • The 30-second spots attack Democrats on transgender issues, accusing them of supporting men in women’s sports and taxpayer-funded gender care for minors.
  • James Talarico in Texas is one of the first targets; the ad uses his “God is nonbinary” remark, which he told CBS News in May had “missed the mark.”
  • The early offensive signals how America PAC plans to shape Senate races as Republicans face risks to both their Senate and House majorities.
