Democrat Shamaine Daniels is running for Congress, eyeing a seat held by Trump-aligned Republican Rep. Scott Perry, who played a key role challenging the 2020 election results.
Daniels, who lost to Perry by less than 10 points last year, hopes a new weapon will help her underdog candidacy: Ashley, an artificial intelligence campaign volunteer.

She is said to be capable of having an infinite number of customized one-on-one conversations at the same time.
