24. Well, if you've got a Dem Senator running & you're in a swing state, you'll see.

I'll admit it if I'm wrong but I know damn well that here in GA I'm going to be inundated with those ads against John Ossoff. He's their #1 target.
Same reason I voted for Geoff Duncan for Gov; I know damn well if Keisha Lance Bottoms is the nominee we'll see "ATL burning" ads nonstop & she'll get beat in Nov. They cant run those ads against Duncan. I dont CARE if he was a republican a year ago; I want to BEAT the MAGA destruction.
But from all the comments I see here I'm afraid we're going to make the same mistakes we made in 2024.
DUers need to realize (and I hate sounding self aggrandizing but it is what it is) MOST people are not like US; they're not plugged in to the weeds of politics & legitimate news. They can be swayed. I saw it with Harris.
