With roughly two weeks until the November 3 election, many Republican candidates are leaving President Trump out of their campaign advertising even as his approval ratings hit new lows. Some GOP campaigns are centering their messaging on Trump, while others are avoiding mentioning him at all, producing divergent party messaging.
The New York Times reports that AI-generated advertising has become a major component of US midterm campaign spending, totaling more than $137 million so far—nearly a quarter of the $565 million spent on House and Senate ads, per Wesleyan Media Project research. Researchers identified over 220 AI-made midterm ads, roughly 80 percent produced by Republican-aligned groups and 20 percent by Democratic-aligned ones, including an Oklahoma PAC ad depicting AI versions of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump without disclosing its AI origin.
