Additional funding to help Ukraine fight its war against Russia has divided Republicans on Capitol Hill — but it’s also dividing candidates and voters in GOP primaries. The latest example is outside Indianapolis, where a narrator in an ad that recently hit the airwaves in Indiana’s 5th District says, “Why does Victoria Spartz put Ukraine first? Chuck Goodrich will put America first.” The ad from Goodrich, a state legislator, knocks Spartz, a two-term congresswoman, for supporting aid for Ukraine, featuring images of her in the Oval Office after President Joe Biden signed a bipartisan measure to quickly provide Ukraine military equipment in 2022. Though Spartz was born and raised in Ukraine, it’s not a unique attack against her. Opposition to more funding for Ukraine has featured in TV ads across a half-dozen Republican House and Senate primaries so far this year, per the ad tracking firm AdImpact.
