Sahil Kapur WASHINGTON — AARP, the advocacy group for Americans over fifty, is launching new cable and broadcast TV ads in West Virginia urging centrist Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va.
AI Summary
Main Idea: An AARP ad campaign is backing Senator Joe Manchin’s push for lower drug prices as he negotiates a possible budget deal, while separate election coverage shows Governor Brian Kemp and David Perdue facing very different Republican primary paths in Georgia.
Key Points:
- AARP is running ads in West Virginia to pressure Manchin to support a bill that would let Medicare negotiate lower prescription drug prices.
- Manchin has said he could back a broader package with drug savings, energy spending, and tax hikes on high earners and corporations.
- In Georgia, Kemp appears to be leading Perdue and may avoid a runoff, while Perdue has spent much less on ads and is falling behind.
- The article also reviews key primary results and ad spending trends in several other states, showing how campaign money is shaping close races.

Positive Impact
AARP’s push on Joe Manchin could help lower prescription drug costs for Medicare patients if Congress passes the bill. Biden and Trump-backed primary fights may also shape which candidates voters and communities face in November.
