The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) is the campaign arm of the US Senate Republican caucus. It enters the AI record as a political actor: in March 2026 it aired an attack advertisement built around a fully computer-generated recreation of a Texas Democratic Senate candidate, which several outlets reported as the first ad in a US Senate race to present a synthetic version of an opponent for its entire duration rather than for backgrounds or brief effects. The episode became a reference point in debates over AI-generated deepfakes and disclosure rules in political campaigning.
