GA-SEN: Democratic super PAC to spend $7 million on ads against Perdue

(CNN)Senate Majority PAC, the top Democratic Super PAC involved in Senate races, will spend $7.2 million on ads in September aimed at defeating Republican Sen. David Perdue of Georgia, as his race against Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff has turned into one of the most competitive in the country.

The massive new television ad reservation reflects the Democrats' increased hopes of flipping the historically conservative state this fall.

"Jon Ossoff has built a strong campaign to put this seat in play, and our newest investment will expose the real David Perdue for his long history of putting his own interests over the needs of Georgians," SMP President J.B. Poersch told CNN.

Georgia has not elected a Democratic senator in 20 years. But Democrats are optimistic that they will compete in the state, spurred by the growth of the Atlanta suburbs and voter expansion efforts led by former state House Democratic leader Stacey Abrams.

It would be great if Ossoff could rejuvenate his political career after the ill-fated House race. OnDoutside Aug 2020 #1

What was criticised as a waste of money at the time, may have given Ossoff the State exposure/Name recognition that might just pay off now, for a much bigger prize.
