New Democracy Launches Five-Figure Ad Blitz Over Senators’ Support for Controversial Cabinet Picks
WASHINGTON – New Democracy today announced the launch of a multi-state digital advertising campaign calling attention to key Republican senators’ support for Donald Trump’s controversial cabinet nominees. The five-figure ad spend targets Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Bill Cassidy (R-La.), and Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) for backing figures such as Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for senior administration roles.
The ads highlight:
Reckless decisions, like supporting RFK Jr. for Health and Human Services Secretary, despite his record of spreading vaccine misinformation—even facing opposition from his own family.
Backing unfit leaders, like Pete Hegseth for Defense Secretary, despite reports of financial mismanagement, personal misconduct, and a secret sexual assault settlement.
Poor judgment, like pushing Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence, despite her meeting with Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad and her record of amplifying Kremlin propaganda.
“American exceptionalism comes from elected leaders driving positive change and putting country before party,” said Lindsay Lewis, Co-Founder of New Democracy. “These Senators failed that basic challenge and put Trump and the Party before the country. Voters deserve better.”
The campaign represents an aggressive approach for a centrist Democratic group. The ads will run across X and Meta Platforms in Maine, North Carolina, Louisiana, and other key states through February.
New Democracy is a support network and home base for pragmatic Democratic leaders – governors, mayors, state officials, and Members of Congress – with the mission of expanding the party’s appeal across Middle America and making Democrats competitive everywhere. Since 2022 New Democracy has invested more than $10 million in digital and television ads supporting Democrats in key races across the country.
