NOTUS is out with a new report detailing how Democrats are appealing to Republican voters but conveniently left out the facts that prove the Republican support in question is a total phony front.


In Texas, James Talarico “poached” a Cornyn staffer, but Cornyn’s campaign comms guy has no clue who this third-rate loser is. Talarico also tried to launch a fake “Republicans for Talarico” movement that was exposed as being full of lifelong Democrat activists and donors.


In Alaska, Mary Peltola “rejected” Kamala Harris’ endorsement, and then fired her entire staff after the fiasco. Harris’ team later revealed that Peltola requested the endorsement in the first place.


In Arizona, Katie Hobbs picked a “Republican” running mate who left the Republican party, co-chaired “Republicans for Harris,” and was reportedly at the bottom of Hobbs’ list after she was turned down by a McCain.


And in Georgia, Jon Ossoff is boasting about endorsements from Never-Trump Republicans like Jeff Flake who endorsed Biden in 2020.  


Democrats’ appeal to Republican voters comes as their favorability is down 25 points compared to 2018, and Americans are net-negative on socialism.


“Democrats trying to appeal to Republican voters is like a career criminal suddenly running for sheriff. All of these far-left extremists are phonies who support open borders, higher taxes, and endless government control. Democrats should get their own house in order before they come looking for new voters.” – Natalie Baldassarre, RNC National Press Secretary
