Misleading Text Campaign Targets Swing State Voters on Harris-Israel Stance
Republican-aligned PACs are sending deceptive messages to sway opinions in Michigan and Pennsylvania by exploiting divisions over Kamala Harris's Israel policies.
- The texts appear to come from Kamala Harris supporters but are actually backed by Republican-aligned PACs aiming to create confusion among voters.
- These messages target pro-Palestinian voters by emphasizing Harris's support for Israel, often including links to articles highlighting her pro-Israel stance.
- Voters in Michigan and Pennsylvania report receiving these texts, which mimic standard campaign messaging but lack any official campaign affiliation.
- PACs connected to Elon Musk and other Republican figures are also funding misleading ads portraying Harris differently to various voter segments.
- The Harris campaign has not commented on the texts, which add to the misinformation landscape as Election Day approaches.
