The Republican Party’s Senate elections arm will air its first television ad of the 2016 cycle next week, hitting Nevada Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto for supporting the Obama administration’s Iran nuclear deal.
The ad, which will air in Las Vegas and Reno next week, is timed to coincide with the Democratic presidential debate on Thursday.
The deal "gives Iran a path to a nuclear bomb," states the third-second spot, which ends with footage of a mushroom cloud.
An NRSC spokesman declined to specify the size of the ad buy.
Cortez Masto is facing Republican Rep. Joe Heck in a race for the Senate seat that will be vacated by retiring Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid.
