As election-day approaches campaign ads get more direct and hard-hitting with less time for opponents to push-back. One recent pro-Kamala Harris ad has created quite a stir among political circles
The unexpected star of this political piece is Julia Roberts who speaks directly to female voters with a non-traditional message: your vote is yours alone. In the eye-catching ad (which runs about 30 seconds) Roberts reminds married women that voting booths are private; no one needs to know their choice
The adʼs approach seems clever yet controversial - suggesting wives can vote differently from their husbands without telling them: this sparked various reactions across party lines. Some see it as empowering while others dont agree with its underlying message
The timing of this unique political strategy — just as we near the elections peak — shows how campaigns are trying new ways to reach voters. Roberts presence adds star-power to what could be seen as a rather straight-forward reminder about voting rights and privacy
