And the pro-Cruz super PAC has prepared an array of new attack ads hitting Rubio — on sugar subsidies, on his tax plan, on amnesty and on national defense — with plans to air them in Florida.
“We had so much fun winning Sen. Cruz’s home state by 17 points, we thought why not repeat that in Sen. Rubio’s home state?” said Kellyanne Conway, the Republican strategist who heads Keep the Promise I, which created the ads. The group is funded mostly by $11 million from hedge fund magnate Robert Mercer, and had $2.75 million in the bank at the end of January.
The spots, which are 30-seconds long, were posted to the YouTube channel of Keep The Promise I, one of the main pro-Cruz super PACs, late Sunday.
“They’ll be on the air, including if not especially in FL,” Conway said in an email.
