One of the few ads featuring the insurrection this campaign cycle features the January 6 Capitol riot, as the party instead uses its resources to focus on issues like abortion and gun control.
Chairman Ron Johnson spoke at the start of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. National and local governments are rushing to contain and find a cure for Covid-19, which has become a problem in the United States. The photo was taken by Samuel Corum.
The ad was funded by the Senate Majority PAC, the upper chamber's main campaign arm, and the End Citizens UnitedPAC.
George Silverwood, a retired Madison Police Captain, told viewers that Johnson was making excuses for rioters.
Johnson has come under fire for his office's alleged role in passing a slate of fake pro-Trump electors to then-Vice President Mike Pence, and for saying the riot wasn't an "armed insurrection" because no firearms were seized.
According to the New York Times, Democrats have spent just $4 million on TV ads that mention January 6 since Labor Day, while ads about abortion are much more common.
According to an average of five FiveThirtyEight surveys taken between April and September, inflation and crime are more important to voters than political extremists.
Some Democratic operatives told the Times last week that they tested January 6 ads and found they didn't land with voters, and advised campaigns to focus their resources on abortion-related ads.
The vast majority of voters think the people who broke into the Capitol are responsible for the riot, but a small majority think Republicans are to blame.
Johnson, a two-term incumbent, has a three-point lead over Barnes in the Senate race according to FiveThirtyEight. Barnes' criminal justice policies have been framed as too progressive by the Republicans and he has lost some of his popularity. The ad featuring a retired Madison police captain mourning the deaths of five law enforcement officers on January 6 could be seen as a way to align Barnes with law enforcement.
The January 6 Capitol riot has been present in this campaign cycle. Democrats ran an ad on their behalf to hit Kelly Cooper for promising to push for the release of Capitol rioters if he is elected. In an ad condemning the January 6 riot, the Rhode Island Democratic House candidate highlighted Allan Fung's statement that he's "not running away from Trump"
