Jaime Harrison spent millions on Facebook ads in an attempt to beat Lindsay Graham

Harrison’s campaign has spent $2.04 million on Facebook ads.

Jaime Harrison has spent more money on Facebook ads than any other candidate running for Senate. Harrison is from South Carolina and the ads were designed to target his opponent Sen. Lindsay Graham‘s inconsistency.

The ads claim that the incumbent challenger will say anything to win favors and Harrison’s ads paint him as a flip-flopper.

Senator Graham, once a Republican Presidential candidate, said that then-fellow candidate Donald Trump was a “race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot,” and he was “unfit for office.”

However, in recent years, Graham has become one of Trump’s most prominent supporters.

Kompromat is a mighty thing.

If you want to be smart with your donations. There's some interesting reading at the following links about which races can offer the biggest bang for your buck:

And the direct info mentioned in that article:

Harrison vs. graham is definitely one of the more influential races, according to their model it's only behind Bullock vs. daines (MO), Bollier vs. marshall (KS), and Gross vs. sullivan (AK)

I've been supporting him since the beginning in the hopes of sidelining Lindsey G. This would be a great race for us to turn over to the blue side.

And we need to work on getting McConnell out too!

DONATE!
