Democrats’ Ad Plans Show Party Going on Offense

“The main outside group supporting Democrats’ efforts to regain control of the House is reserving $272 million in television and digital advertising ahead of the November midterm elections, with most of the money targeting seats currently held by Republicans,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The House Majority PAC outlined its plans Thursday to spend substantially in media markets from Miami to Phoenix to Philadelphia, where the most competitive races will determine whether President Trump keeps his Republican majority. Democrats are attempting to seize upon Trump’s slumping job approval ratings and public dissatisfaction over inflation and the economy.”

“The ad spending plan offers a road map to Democrats’ strategy for retaking the House and their top targets six months before the midterms—along with spending plans in areas that typically lean Republican.”
