That's kind of my point though. Gabby Giffords was a US Representative that was thrust into the national spotlight when she survived an assassination attempt in 2013 at a public Town Hall.
Unlike most political spouses, she was actually the politician of the couple before Mark Kelly ran in 2020. He's actually very new to politics directly.
That’s a good point and I feel bad for forgetting about that
In fact, I hadn't even considered the Giffords assassination attempt as a foil against Trump's use of his own in his campaign advertising.
Oh shit that’s also a good point
