In the 2026 election campaign, AI-generated videos have started to portray not only politicians but also ordinary people.

In Asheville, a drag queen recognized herself in a fake attack ad produced by the Republican Party (GOP).

Following this, the drag performers involved sent cease-and-desist letters to stop the unauthorized use of their images.

This incident highlights growing worries about the misuse of artificial intelligence in political advertising and the legal issues it creates.
