Allies of Jeb Bush and John Kasich are engaging in a full-fledged ad war, with super-PACs supporting the two Republicans releasing scathing TV commercials against each other on New Hampshire airwaves this week.
New Day for America, the outside group backing Kasich’s presidential campaign, is going up with a 30-second spot that calls out Bush for “desperately slinging mud” in the nomination contest. Right to Rise USA, which supports Bush, is calling Kasich “wrong on New Hampshire issues.”
