Kari Lake's first general election ad tying Ruben Gallego to Kamala Harris shares a preview of what Republican attacks will look like ahead of November as they come to terms with the Democrats' ticket change.
FIRST ON FOX: Vice President Kamala Harris' posture on the southern border crisis is set to haunt down-ballot Democrats in the November election, with Arizona Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake previewing the GOP's attack in battleground states following the Democratic ticket shakeup. 'Ruben Gallego and Kamala Harris: Bad for the border. Bad for Arizona. Bad for America,' a narrator says in Lake's first ad of the general election campaign.
The ad is part of a $10 million ad reservation previously announced by Lake in May. Harris is seen in the video saying that she doesn't think the U.S. should treat people who 'cross the border as criminals.' The footage is from a 2019 appearance on 'The View' during her bid for the Democratic nominee for president in the 2020 election. 'We're not going to support a border wall that is not needed,' Gallego says in subsequent footage.
Lake officially won the Republican nod for Senate on Tuesday, defeating Sheriff Mark Lamb. Gallego ran for the Democratic nomination unopposed. Current incumbent Sinema revealed earlier this year that she wouldn't be seeking re-election. She was first elected to the seat in 2018 as a Democrat before switching her party affiliation in 2022.
