Senate Majority PAC, the top Democratic super PAC in U.S. Senate races, is launching a major late investment in Texas, spending $8.6 million on TV ads supporting MJ Hegar's bid to oust Republican U.S. Sen. John Cornyn.

The political action committee will begin airing two anti-Cornyn ads, one in English and the other in Spanish, on Friday, and they will run through Election Day, according to details first shared with The Texas Tribune. Both 30-second spots take Cornyn to task for his longtime opposition to the Affordable Care Act, which includes protections for people with preexisting conditions.

The English commercial invokes a recent Cornyn ad in which he claims to support those protections, while a narrator says Cornyn is "lying about his health care record."

"John Cornyn led the charge to eliminate the law that protects people with preexisting conditions," the narrator says, referring to Cornyn's leading role in Republicans' 2017 push to repeal Obamacare. "John Cornyn is a fraud who sold us out.”

2. This makes we wonder if there is something in the poll numbers

that Hegar will be able to capitalize on. Cornyn needs to be voted out of office.

3. I thought the same thing. Her internal polls may be showing more hope than the public polls.
