BY JORDAIN CARNEY - 06/03/19 11:14 AM EDT
A left-leaning outside group on Monday is launching a TV ad knocking Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) over his efforts to repeal ObamaCare.
The Ditch Mitch Fund, a group focused on trying to unseat McConnell in 2020, is running the five-figure TV ad in Louisville and Lexington, Ky., as well as going up with a statewide digital buy in the Bluegrass State.
The ad includes a man and younger woman playing audio of McConnell's criticism of the Affordable Care Act, the signature healthcare law from the Obama administration.
"I think the sooner we can get rid of ObamaCare, the better," McConnell is heard saying in the ad, before the man responds that, "the sooner we can get rid of Mitch McConnell, the better."

McConnell's drawing some attention from unexpected quarters. Is he unbeatable? If you don't fight against him, yes. If you do fight against him, maybe not.

Back in 2006 or so, MoveOn.org ran some ads against long-time CT Republican incumbent Nancy Johnson before she ever had an opponent. The ads were strong enough that her approval rating dropped quite a bit and it led to Chris Murphy being elected in CT - Murphy eventually went on to win a seat in the Senate, succeeding EX Democrat Joe Lieberman
