Republicans reprise anti-transgender 'Kamala is for they/them' ads for the midterms
Republicans reprise anti-transgender ‘Kamala is for they/them’ ads for the midterms (CNN)Shortly after former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper announced his plans to run for Senate, a group backing Republicans released an ad with an echo of last year’s presidential campaign.
“Roy Cooper sides with they/them,” read the language on screen in the ad, produced by the Senate Leadership Fund.
Republicans are reprising a key attack line from last year’s presidential race for elections this year and next, betting that anti-trans messaging will help them counter Democrats running on GOP-led cuts to Medicaid and other parts of Trump’s policy megabill.
