The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has launched an ad campaign against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in Kentucky, the group announced Thursday.
The ad, first reported by ABC News, coincides with the start of the Sweet 16 portion of the NCAA basketball tournament, and features mock sports commentary. “And we’re back, it’s tournament time, but Sen. McConnell’s playing for the Washington special interests against Kentucky,” a mock announcer says at the start of the ad. According to a written DSCC release, the radio ad will run from March 28 to April 3.
Actress Ashley Judd, who was considering a bid in the Kentucky Senate race, announced Wednesday that she won’t seek McConnell’s seat.
