Democratic candidates and groups are hitting the airwaves in the final days of the midterm election cycle with campaign ads that hammer home a focus on issues considered more favorable to Republicans, such as inflation and crime.
Campaigns and outside spending groups have just over a week to make their closing arguments to voters before Election Day brings what is widely expected to be a wave of Republican victories.
“A safe walk home at night. A subway ride free of fear. A safer New York for every child. That’s what Kathy Hochul is working for as governor,” a voice tells viewers in the more recent ad. One of Levin’s first ads over the summer focused on spotlighting his support of Biden administration priorities, such as the infrastructure bill, lowering prescription drug prices, and expanding healthcare. He also cut ads on abortion and Jan. 6.
“We need real action to bring down inflation, not a bunch of bull,” he concludes the ad, gesturing back to the bulls grazing behind him.For example, House Majority PAC, the spending group linked to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi , ran an ad in September against the Republican candidate in Illinois's 13th Congressional District race, where Democrat Nikki Budzinski is facing Republican Regan Deering in a left-leaning, but still competitive, open House race.
