Advertisements

Jaime Harrison ran a number of ads attempting to attract conservative voters from Lindsey Graham by elevating Constitution Party candidate Bill Bledsoe as "too conservative—but in doing so, the would-be attack ad offers up right-wing voters a laundry list of things to like about him". Bledsoe, whose name was still on the ballot despite having withdrawn from the race, criticized the ads as fraudulent.[107]

Meanwhile, Graham ran ads attempting to connect Harrison with Nancy Pelosi and calling Harrison a "liberal Democrat".[108]
