WASHINGTON — A lobbying group for the oil and gas industry has launched a new television advertising campaign targeting the Biden administration’s promotion of electric vehicles in several battleground states. One ad from American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers accuses Democratic President Joe Biden of “rushing to ban new gas-powered cars, no matter where you live or what you need.” “They want to force you into an electric vehicle,” the ad continues. Since he took office in 2021, Biden has been ambitious in setting targets for reducing emissions from vehicles with internal combustion eng......

NEW YORK — Early voting started Saturday in the heated congressional special election to pick a successor to disgraced ex-Rep. George Santos for a Long Island swing seat that could further reduce the already razor-thin GOP majority in the House of Representatives. Democratic ex-Rep. Tom Suozzi is battling upstart Republican Mazi Melesa Pilip in an unusual mid-winter contest in which the winner will head to Washington, D.C., to serve out the remainder of what was supposed to be a two-year term for Santos, the controversial conservative Republican who was expelled by the House in December over a......

The weekend before an election is a blur, a flurry of door-knocking, get-out-the-vote rallies, last-minute media pushes; the culmination of months, if not years, of work and millions of dollars of spending. In Seattle, with the future of the City Council on the line, TV ads show a candidate's face next to a pile of waffles. Mailers show candidates in ominous, staticky cutouts. As in so many elections, there are high stakes, there is ill will. Then there are the elections of Charlie Kellogg and Paula Dix. Both are running for obscure offices with limited mandates. There is little power, little ......

Former President Donald Trump Wednesday took aim at special counsel Jack Smith, accusing him in a new ad of being part of a liberal “pack of rabid wolves” trying to derail his White House comeback bid. As possible indictments loom in the Mar-a-Lago documents scandal, a pro-Trump super PAC put Smith squarely in the political crosshairs for supposedly ginning up an unfounded legal witch hunt against the former president. The ad shows Smith in a montage of Trump bogeymen including Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and even former presidential rival Hillary Clinton. “Like a pack of rabid wol......

A full-page ad with Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee dressed in drag ran in one of the state’s largest newspapers Tuesday, just days after the Republican politician signed into law a bill targeting drag performances — the first of its kind in the nation. The ad, which appeared in The Tennessean, was paid for by the Human Rights Campaign. It shows a recently unearthed photo of the self-described “conservative outsider” wearing women’s clothes while posing for his high school yearbook in 1977. “This kid enjoyed drag,” the ad reads in part, with an arrow pointing at Lee. “Guess what happened to him? He’s ......

LANSING, Mich. — Republican Perry Johnson, a Michigan businessman and former candidate for governor, is launching a campaign committee to potentially run for president along with funding Super Bowl ads to back his possible bid in the key state of Iowa. Johnson announced the formation of his presidential committee Thursday, a step that will allow him to begin raising and spending money. In a statement, Johnson said he supported former President Donald Trump, a Republican, in 2016 and 2020 and "could very easily support him in 2024." Trump has already started his third campaign for the Republica......
