Ted Cruz Launches Investigation into Bud Light's Partnership with Transgender Influencer

Republican senators Ted Cruz and Marsha Blackburn are calling for an investigation into Bud Light's partnership with transgender TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney, citing concerns that the company violated the Beer Institute's advertising code by allegedly marketing its products to minors. The senators argue that the brand's partnership and sponsored posts appeared on Instagram and TikTok, platforms geared toward younger audiences, and that Mulvaney's content on these platforms targets a primarily younger audience. Bud Light has faced backlash and boycotts over the partnership, with some critics accusing the brand of intentionally targeting underage audiences.
