Is this the most BRUTAL moment of the 2026 election?
Summary
Pod Save America analyzes three key midterm ads, starting with Scott Cullum’s viral “Pick Another Protein” spot in Mississippi, which outperformed an Obama endorsement. They then discuss Amy Acton’s “dirty rich” attack on Vivek Ramaswamy in Ohio, noting his poor campaign choices like the failed baseball video. Finally, they praise John Ossoff’s documentary-style ad in Georgia, highlighting its effective strategy of giving Trump voters permission to switch sides by validating their economic frustrations.
