Overview

  • The weeklong buy features state TV spots in Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Maine, plus national cable and targeted digital placements.
  • Demand Justice bases the campaign on a report saying Trump’s nominees would not affirm that he lost the 2020 election or describe Jan. 6 as an insurrection.
  • President Josh Orton called the ads an opening salvo and warned of expanding pressure to more vulnerable senators and potential presidential contenders.
  • The push follows anger on the left after eight members of the Senate Democratic caucus joined Republicans to end a government shutdown.
  • The group says Fetterman backed one judge, Hassan three and King four, and Reason reports that MoveOn is preparing similar pressure on Senate Democrats.
