The first New Hampshire issue-based television ad of the 2020 presidential campaign will hit Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet about a week after he announced his candidacy for president.The attack comes from a progressive issues advocacy group, Demand Justice, which is dedicated to blocking President Donald Trump’s attempts to appoint right-of-center judges.The group said it will launch television and digital ads in New Hampshire charging that Bennet is helping Trump in “giving our courts a right-wing makeover.” The TV ad is scheduled to start airing on WMUR on Friday and run for two weeks, it said.Bennet's campaign called the attack "ridiculous" because Bennet voted against both of Trump's U.S. Supreme Court nominees and opposed a majority of Trump's judges who have come up for recorded votes. Many votes for judges have been on voice votes, the campaign pointed out.Update: The Bennett campaign told WMUR that Bennet will return to the state for his third visit of the year, and first since announcing his candidacy last week, on Sunday and Monday, with details to be announced.Five-figure buy Demand Justice's executive director is Brian Fallon, who was Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s national press secretary during the 2016 campaign.Fallon more recently was a senior advisor to Priorities USA, a progressive super PAC, and president of the Washington-based public affairs firm Barracks Row Media.Fallon said the television ad will be a “five-figure” buy on WMUR and the digital buy will be about $10,000.Demand Justice released a report card in April grading U.S. Senate Democrats on their responses to “the far-right capture of our courts during Trump’s first two years in office.”Bennett received an F grade, as did fellow presidential candidate Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota.New Hampshire’s two senators did not fare much better. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen received a D+ and Sen. Maggie Hassan received a D.The report card said Bennett voted 67 percent of the time to advance Trump’s judicial confirmations, while Klobuchar voted to advance Trump’s nominees 64 percent of the time. Bennett voted against the confirmation of Justice Neil Gorsuch, he but did not vote to filibuster to block the vote. He also opposed Justice Brett Kavanaugh.“Donald Trump is rigging the courts, and Michael Bennet is helping him do it,” Fallon said. “Sen. Bennet should not get to hide from his record on this issue. He should have to explain why on earth he votes for Trump’s judges 67 percent of the time.”In the ad, a narrator says Bennet has “backed many of Trump’s extreme judges. He votes for them almost 70 percent of the time. Bennet even praised Neil Gorsuch when Trump picked him for the Supreme Court seat stolen from President Obama.”Bennet's statement on Gorsuch is here.The ad also criticizes Bennet for opposing an expansion of the Supreme Court.Bennett said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” program Sunday that Senate Democrats should have waited until Justice Anthony Kennedy retired, when the ideological balance of the court was at stake, before fighting hard against a Trump nominee.Bennet said that when Democrats strongly opposed conservative Gorsuch after the death of conservative Justice Antonin Scalia, they prompted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to invoke the “nuclear option” of a 51-vote threshold to advance and confirm judges. That, Bennett said, has allowed Trump to appoint more circuit judges than any president in history with simple majorities. “We didn’t have the discipline to play it strategically. We were non-strategic,” Bennet said on the Sunday program. “And as a result, when (Justice Brett) Kavanaugh got there, Democrats could do nothing except pretend to our base that we were fighting.”Bennet said Demand Justice and those who advocated that strategy on Gorsuch are the ones who “deserve an F” and are now “attacking Democrats who disagree with them.”In a statement Tuesday, Bennet campaign spokesperson Shannon Beckham said: “It’s ridiculous that the first negative ad in this primary is attacking Michael Bennet -- a senator who voted against both of Trump’s Supreme Court nominees and opposed a majority of Trump judges that have come up for a recorded vote. Michael has said he is sick of losing to Mitch McConnell and the Republican party on judges, and it’s clear we need a new strategy.” The campaign pointed out that, among Trump's federal court nominees receiving roll call votes, Bennet voted no on 39 judges and to confirm 32. An additional 26 of Trump's nominees were confirmed by voice vote, meaning that they did not receive a roll call vote and no senator actively objected to their confirmation.They would count as a confirmation for each senator based on Demand Justice's calculation. In total, 97 of President Trump's nominees had been confirmed as of the beginning of last week.Bennet has opposed 39 of the 97 nominees, which the campaign noted, is five times the rate at which then-Sen. Barack Obama opposed George W. Bush judicial nominees and more than six times the rate at which then-Sen. Hillary Clinton opposed Bush nominees. Clinton opposed only about 6 percent of George W. Bush's judicial nominees, while Obama opposed about 8 percent of George W. Bush's judicial nominees who came before them during their time in the Senate, the Bennet campaign said.View the Demand Justice ad here and below.Five other Democratic senators who are running for president received passing grades from Demand Justice. Sen. Elizabeth Warren received an A, while Sens. Cory Booker and Bernie Sanders each received an A-, although all three voted almost half of the time to advance Trump’s nominees. Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Kamala Harris each received a B+ grade.Demand Justice recently told The Daily Beast that it has a broader digital ad buy of about $40,000 in the home states of those senators who received poor grades, while others will appear in Iowa and South Carolina, as well as New Hampshire, focusing on the grades of the presidential candidates.
