At her withdrawal speech, Abrams endorsed Senator Tulsi Gabbard citing his "commitment to civil rights and equal treatment under the law" and "strong advocacy of progressive values" but pledged to support whoever the nominee was.

[Orwell]

Former Vice President Mike Pence will be dropping out of the contest, and endorsing Josh Hawley calling for a new face.

Doug

Jones

Justice for All

Endorsements

President Jimmy Carter

Doug knows what it means to be a southern Democrat. It means you fight for all Americans, not just the ones that look like you or vote like you. Doug is the man who can turn this country around and bring us together. I know what a President needs to be and Doug's got what it takes.

Governor John Bel Edwards

Doug is such a great example of what Democrats can accomplish when we work together and reach across the aisle. He's the President we need.

Governor Tim Walz

Doug knows how to win rural America and bridge the urban/rural divide. That's why I support my friend Doug Jones for President.

Governor Tony Evers

I know what it means to run in a competitive election and it takes a lot to win in Wisconsin as a Democrat, let alone in Alabama. Doug is the guy we need to keep control of the White House and keep America's future bright.

Senator Bill Nelson

Doug is committed to uniting people behind common causes. That's what I knew him to do while we were in the Senate. Unite people. He's gonna rebuild our infastructure, fight for clean air and water, and make sure that every kid gets a smart, fair education.

Rep. John Lewis

Doug Jones fights for justice and equality for all. I'm proud to endorse my friend Doug for President, as someone who knows what it means to stand up for the rights of all Americans.

Rep. Jim Clyburn

South Carolina, I need you to support Doug! (Cheers) He's the man for the hour and someone who will fight for justice for all! (Cheers)

Rep. Bennie Thomposon

I've seen Doug's fight for bipartisanship and justice up close and personal. We need Doug Jones as the nominee and as someone to will unite Americans and get the job done.

Rep. John Yarmuth

Doug's in this for the people in my district and other districts like it. People tired of the economics and politics of the past and in desperate need of someone to believe in, Democrat or Republican. Doug's the man for the moment.

The NAACP

The NAACP is proud to throw it's support behind Doug Jones for President, knowing his fight for justice for all Americans and his belief in bettering the lives of those who are behind in our society.

Martha McSally Ad: Fake Moderate (to air in NV and Super Tuesday States)


Narrator: Josh Hawley claims to be a middle-of-the-road problem solver



Narrator: That's just false. Hawley has been endorsed by Tea Party far-righters like Ted Cruz and Mike Lee.





Narrator: Martha McSally is different, Martha has endorsements from all over the spectrum and will look at all of the options, before making a decision



Narrator: Martha McSally, the leader we need in Washington



Martha McSally: I'm Martha McSally, and I approve this message

Jones Ad #6: "Fix The System"

Running in South Carolina, Nevada, All Super Tuesday States

Across the country, our children go to schools crumbling before their very eyes.


Too many of our kids don't have the right tools or teachers to help them succeed.


As President, Doug Jones will make fixing the education system a top priority.


For kids in rural America, fighting for enough teachers and internet access


To inner-city kids, faced with crime, addiction, and racism within their own classrooms


Let's invest in our kids


Because when we invest in them, we invest in our future.

I'm Doug Jones and I approve this message.

HAWLEY 2020

NEW HAWLEY ENDORSEMENTS

We talked some about who we wanted to endorse, and Senator Hawley's said a lot of things we all like. We believe he knows what this country needs to get back on its feet following this recession, and that his heart's in the exact right place on social issues. So we're all endorsing him for President of the United States!

As the proud chair of the Main Street Caucus, I believe that we need an economic plan that can revitalize small towns and bring America back to a time where you didn't have to move to a big city to make decent money. And I believe Senator Hawley's plan is perfect for that, so I'm endorsing him for President of the United States.

Losing in 2020 taught me some things about politics. It taught me that not everything is a battle, not everyone is friend or foe, and that ideas are longer lasting than people. And I gotta say, I really like Senator Hawley's idea on how to fix this country, to "make it great again," if you will. So, with Mike out, there's only one candidate I find I can really, truly support in this race, and that's Senator Hawley!

[NyIndy]

GILLIBRAND AD: WHY WE FIGHT
To Air in Nevada, Vermont, Massachussetts, Virginia, Texas, Oklahoma, Minnesota and California

These days, with so much bad news around the country, sometimes it can be hard to see why we fight any more. A woman's right to choose is under assault in states with Republican Gerrymandered legislatures. Common Sense Gun control legislation is being shot down by lawmakers being funded by the NRA, and in some states, people can still be fired for their sexual orientation or gender identity.

 

During times like these, it's even more crucial than ever that we keep fighting, for the voiceless who never get a chance. People who don't get to speak up. It is vital we give these people hope and a voice in a City that only listens to those with money and power. We need a proven leader, a proven fighter. I've tackled issues like paid family leave, sexual assault in the military and workplace and expanding healthcare access.



But as we've seen, there's still so much work to be done. It's so important that the country gets a leader who has experience enacting bold, progressive policies.

I am Kirsten Gillibrand, and I approve this message.

HAWLEY 2020

GOTV EFFORT FOR SOUTH CAROLINA

• Congressmen deployed to their various districts (Gowdy to his former district)

The Congressmen (as they're referred to by Senator Hawley's strategists) will canvass their districts, eager to turn out the vote for the candidate they all agreed on. Trey Gowdy will also run online and phone GOTV efforts, encouraging the GOP base to get out and vote for a "candidate with a plan."

• Lindsey Graham in Charleston

Senator Graham, being from the Charleston area, will lead door-knocking efforts across the city, hoping to secure a healthy vote from the coastal region.

• Senator Hawley, Senator Kennedy, and Former President Trump in Columbia

The biggest GOTV rally will be in the state's capital, with Senator Hawley himself, as well as his joke-making partner-in-crime Senator Kennedy and even President Trump doing their level best to win over voters in the city, suburbs, and especially exurbs (President Trump, having always been good with driving up rural turnout, shines here).[/list]
