After months of a bruising television ad war between Dr. Mehmet Oz and David McCormick and their allies, the relatively shoestring campaign of Kathy Barnette, a conservative commentator showing surprising strength in the polls, will receive a late boost in the Republican primary for Senate in Pennsylvania.
The Club for Growth, the pro-business and anti-tax group, began booking television ads on Tuesday on behalf of Ms. Barnette worth $2 million, according to AdImpact, the ad-tracking firm.
The new ad has Ms. Barnette narrating her impoverished upbringing on “a pig farm in Alabama” and saying how “this country allowed a little Black girl to claw her way from underneath a rock,” while warning of a disappearing American dream.
The Club for Growth has not formally endorsed Ms. Barnette, which makes the group’s late intervention all the more politically intriguing. The group did not respond to requests for comment.
The group noisily sparred with former President Donald J. Trump in the Ohio Senate primary. The Club for Growth, which backed Josh Mandel, continued to attack J.D. Vance, the eventual winner, even after Mr. Vance won Mr. Trump’s endorsement.
Its continued assault on Mr. Vance angered both Mr. Trump and his son, Donald Trump Jr., who attacked the Club for Growth on the campaign trail. And Mr. Vance made clear he was still bitter about all the attacks, calling out the Club by name in his victory speech even as he praised his rivals for their efforts.

Our Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman who was elected LG in 2020 alongside fellow Democrat Governor Tom Wolf for Wolf’s second term.
Fetterman was mayor of a town near Pittsburgh before that.
He’s a big sized guy some call him Frankenstein I guess if it’s him versus Kathy Barnette this could be a remake of:
“Beauty and the Beast”

Perhaps that is it - it is strange because they haven’t even endorsed her.
Given her momentum in latest polling released after this ad buy this could backfire on them.
For her or against Trump?
I actually think the ad is a bad one and somewhat racist. They use AOC and Kamala Harris and use Kathy’s voiceover. Kind of sneaky of them in my opinion
I guess that is why most of their endorsements are the same as Trump's and their leadership speaks at Trump rallies with Trump personally introducing them on stage?
