AI tried to bury this politician — now people have actually heard of him

Leading the Future, a super PAC funded by OpenAI, Palantir, and a16z executives, has spent millions against NY-12 candidate Alex Bores since late 2025; the snippet says Anthropic and OpenAI will spend millions before the June Democratic primary over who regulates AI and who faces political costs for trying.

Why it matters: HKR-H comes from the backlash angle, HKR-K from named PAC spending millions, and HKR-R from AI lobbying over regulation. This is a strong policy feature, not a same-day industry shock.
