After months of a bruising television ad war between Dr. Mehmet Oz and David McCormick and their allies, the relatively shoestring campaign of Kathy Barnette, a conservative commentator showing surprising strength in the polls, will receive a late boost in the Republican primary for Senate in Pennsylvania.
The Club for Growth, the pro-business and anti-tax group, began booking television ads on Tuesday on behalf of Ms. Barnette worth $2 million, according to AdImpact, the ad-tracking firm.
The new ad has Ms. Barnette narrating her impoverished upbringing on “a pig farm in Alabama” and saying how “this country allowed a little Black girl to claw her way from underneath a rock,” while warning of a disappearing American dream.
The Club for Growth has not formally endorsed Ms. Barnette, which makes the group’s late intervention all the more politically intriguing. The group did not respond to requests for comment.
The group noisily sparred with former President Donald J. Trump in the Ohio Senate primary. The Club for Growth, which backed Josh Mandel, continued to attack J.D. Vance, the eventual winner, even after Mr. Vance won Mr. Trump’s endorsement.
Its continued assault on Mr. Vance angered both Mr. Trump and his son, Donald Trump Jr., who attacked the Club for Growth on the campaign trail. And Mr. Vance made clear he was still bitter about all the attacks, calling out the Club by name in his victory speech even as he praised his rivals for their efforts.

I see this as nothing less then the Club-for-Growth trying to divide the field for David McCormick who is the personification of a Globalist.
Certainly sounds like Club for Growth is anti Trump.
Lots of weird alignments in PA, with the Club for Growth joining in being right up there.
Club for growth has Globalist agenda. Which is to help multi-national big corporations and ignore small businesses. A cousin of Chamber of Commerce.
Trump is the only real MAGA politician with nationwide name recognition. I will defer to Trump’s knowledge of the candidates over so called “conservatives” who opposed Trump right from the beginning such as Cruz.
Looks from over here like all three candidates have baggage and PA conservatives are just going to have to choose the one with the least.
What baggage does Kathy Burnett have?
Vance rightly called them the "Club for China Growth."
They are just trolling in this race to mess with Trump.
Years ago (when run by Steve Moore) they were a good fiscal conservative/libertarian bunch, but they went off the rails and have become principle-less, virulent anti-Trumpers.
“Certainly sounds like Club for Growth is anti Trump.”
they are. They are an NWO deep state group. If the NYT and ap COINCIDENTALLY RAN THE STORY WITHIN AN HOUR then you know something’s up..
Not sure you can get anymore conservative than I am. I found Freerepublic by driving my butt to Tallahassee during the recount. Drove 2000 miles to both Glen becks rally and recently to freedom convoy. I lost 56 thousand dollars when irs came after me based on my donations and blogs. Kathy Barnett is the best option. Trumps wrong here. And I love trump.
Ok. So she grew up on a pig farm in Alabama. She went to college in Alabama. She says in her book bio from 2018 that she lived in Virginia, so what year did she move to Pennsylvania? In 2020 ran for office in PA so she would have to Pennsylvania right before running. So I don’t want to hear anymore about carpetbagging from this fraud.

I think you are on the right track.
When Barnette wins outright it will fail.
She spoke out against the WEF, which is a no-no in corrupt modern American politics.
She's not going to win thanks to massive vote fraud that the stupid GOP failed to fix.
They seem to be going that way.
Chamber of Commerce likes her.
Her friends ssuck.
Chamber of Commerce likes her.
Her friends ssuck.
Is Club for Growth never Trump?
Who is the Democrat opponent?
Toomey got his start with the Club for Growth. They seem to have a bunch of money but they don’t leave much of a footprint.
Club For Growth with Chinese Communist $$$.
