President Obama is given a brief cameo in a new ad Wednesday in the Massachusetts Senate race — by Republican Sen. Scott Brown, who has been trailing Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren in this heavily Democratic state.
“I’ve kept my promise to be an independent voice,” Brown says. “I put people ahead of politics, and now I need your help to keep that independent tradition alive in Massachusetts.”
Audio then plays from Brown making a stump speech, along with images that include a photo of Brown meeting with Obama: “Let me tell you, things would be a lot better in this country if more people in Washington were willing to think for themselves, and work with each other for the good of America.”
