“Thom Tillis is rushing an appointment onto the Supreme Court who will vote to overturn our health care,” the ad says. But in her ad, which she spent $500,000 over the past four days to air in Kentucky, all politics is local, including the Supreme Court. “While Washington talks about Mitch McConnell jamming through a Supreme Court nomination, he wouldn’t jam through more help for laid-off Kentucky workers,” the ad says. The Trump campaign has run digital ads about the Supreme Court vacancy, but not TV ads. In the Republican-leaning 13th Congressional District in Illinois, Betsy Dirksen Londrigan, a Democrat challenging Representative Rodney Davis, has an ad with the familiar message of “health care at risk” in the Supreme Court.
