First Read: “Facing a challenging political environment, a Republican president whose approval rating is around 40 percent and an expanding battleground map for control of the House, Republicans are spending their resources — now — on trying to disqualify Democratic candidates.”
Just yesterday, the Congressional Leadership Fund released five different ads hitting Democrats:
- In CA-39 against Gil Cisneros (for investing in companies that do business with Iran)
- In IL-6 against Sean Casten (hitting his business record)
- In ME-2 against Jared Golden (on taxes)
- In NJ-3 against Andy Kim (tying him to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi)
- And in WI-1 against Randy Bryce (for being arrested nine times)
David Wasserman: “Only hope for House Republicans to save majority? Disqualify Democratic nominees with nuclear opposition and slug it out race-by-race starting in August and September. And so it begins.”
