Michael Avenatti's first political ad is here, regrettably

Attorney Michael Avenatti isn't running now, but his first-ever political ad shows he's almost certainly running soon.

On Thursday, Avenatti released a midterm election ad that clearly targets his longtime opponent President Trump. But instead of calling out Trump by name, a handful of people splash across the same leafy background to shout about how they're generally "mad as hell" and they're "not going to take it anymore." And at the end of the spot, Avenatti compels viewers to "join the fight club," which most likely refers to "The Fight" Political Action Committee he founded. He then tells the audience to "use your vote as your voice on Nov. 6."
