What party is he running for? Where is he running? What is he running for?
He is running for the Democrats in Tennesee. He is running for the U.S Senate.

What is his main message?
His main message in this ad, is that he thinks something must be done about the economy in Tennesee. He mean that Washington is only using money on parties and games, and that they borrow to much money with no end at sight. He mean that this money should be used on health-incurance and to help the economy. He says it all is a mess, but it can be fixed and bring the common sense back to their government.

How does this Message reflect the political climate in the USA?
When Phil says that Washington is using money on gaming and parties innstead of innvesting in health-Insurance and other important issues, it seems like the government is not taking things too serious. Phil draws many of the bad pages of the President, and talks about all the good things he himself have done in different businesses in the past. This shows how devided the democrats and the Republicks are in the U.S.

Phil Bredesen did not win the election.

What party are they running for? Where are they running? What are they running for?
-He is running as a Democrat, in Virginia. He is running as a candidate for the House of Representatives.

What is their main message?
-I think the main message is to try and make him look like a fearless man. A man who says what he thinks, and isn't afraid to speak up against people. He encourages democrats in a bar to sing a song to a republican about how badly they have been.
He sings about how bad Trump is, and what he is doing wrong, that Obama did right.
He also says, "We've lost, that lovin' feelin', ". I think he is trying to show how many democrats are feeling, and trying to make them want to vote for him, since they can relate to that feeling.

How does this message reflect the political climate in the USA?
-The people of the US is very divided. About half of the US voted for Trump, and the rest voted for Clinton. Many people are angry with the other part of the population, and some even tries to make fun of the other part.
I think Dan tries to show this, by making a video where he and other people are trying to make a republican look like a fool.

Did he win?
Unfortunately, (at least for him), he did not win. He was the fourth best democrat in his district.

# data[].attributes.body
What party are they running for? Where are they running? What are they running for?
He is running as a Democrat, from Florida, for governor.

What is their main message?
-It is portraying him like a family man with great values. It talks about his own personal background and links his family background to what policies he wants for Florida. He also talked about his background as a mayor of Tallahassee and what he wants to do as governor if he wins the election.

How does this message reflect the political climate in the USA?
The message does probably not reflect the political climate in the USA. Gillum's ad underlines his values as a family man. There is no direct or hidden attacks on any republican, and Gillum states what is important to him.

Did he win?
No, probably not. All votes are not counted yet, and there is going to be a recount, because the margin of "victory" for DeSantis is less then 0.5%, it is not sure that Gillum will lose.

What party are they running for? Where are they running? What are they running for?
-He is running as a Democrat,  from California, for Senate

What is their main message?
-This video shows how he is using his own personal story and background to appeal to voters. He is sending a positiv message about immigrants in America and how important it is with good leadership. He points to the fact that his life would be very different if he had grown up now, when his mother might have been seperated from him as an illegal immigrant.

How does this message reflect the political climate in the USA?
This message is a direct comment to the politics of Trump and the way he has talked about and treated immigrants during his presidency. It also shows that this is an important issue for Americans as they vote in this midterm election.

Did he win?
He lost to democrat Diane Feinstein.
