Republican Rep. Derrick Van Orden used artificial intelligence to create synthetic videos of his Democratic opponent in a bid for re-election in Wisconsin's 3rd District. Democratic candidate Rebecca Cooke issued a cease-and-desist letter to stop the use of these campaign ads, which depict Cooke making statements she never actually made.

Prediction markets suggest a high likelihood of the incumbent losing his seat. Data from Polymarket currently lists a 71% chance that Van Orden will be ousted from Congress in the upcoming election.
