NEW YORK (AP) – Democrats launch a national summer blitz designed to force vulnerable Republicans to protect President Donald Trump Mass tax cuts and spending reduces bills – In particular, Medicaid cuts will ensure millions of Americans do not contain their healthcare coverage.
Meanwhile, Republican leaders in Washington are encouraging members to promote a more general aspect of the bill during small management where GOP officials are unlikely to face difficult questions or protests.
The Democratic National Committee’s “organizing summer” will feature events from Alaska, Texas, Colorado and California over the next week in all 50 states. The party’s message will be strengthened by online advertising and sign trucks at state and county trade fairs targeting vulnerable House Republicans in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan and New Jersey.
“As Democrats, our job is to ensure that every American across the country understands the devastating impact of this bill,” said DNC Chairman Ken Martin. “Democrats will hold events, highlight Republican hypocrisy and ensure that Americans across the country know exactly who is responsible for taking out healthcare, food, construction jobs and nursing homes to provide billionaires with massive handouts.”
Huge Republican-backed taxes and expenditures The package that Trump called “big and beautiful” and signed the law on July 4th could ultimately become a critical issue for next year’s midterm elections.
Republicans are promoting the bill as a tax cut for all Americans, but polls suggest that there were American adults Adopting GOP messages is slower.

For most of the year, Republican officials are shunning city hall meetings It has a member or public appearance that could face undescripted questions from protesters and voters. Congress’ GOP members may stand out a little more this summer, according to a memo distributed this week by the House Republican campaign division.
The memo encourages Republicans to become more active in selling Trump’s bills during the August break, but the National Republican Campaign Committee suggests that they focus on tax cuts in a small setting that members can control.
Among the NRCC proposals outlined in the memo are “visiting a local hospital and discussing how to vote for overtime without tax,” “stop at a restaurant and voting without tax on tips, and “working at the counter at a local store and chatting to reduce costs about your work.”
The Republican memo states that the August break of the month is an important opportunity to define how this law supports all voters and helps push back the fears of Democrats.
Democrats are clearly planning a more public campaign this month than their Republican rivals, but they will also offer “intensive boot camps for several days” as part of a training programme for political operatives and community leaders.
Events are planned for all 50 states, with a special focus on 35 of the most competitive council districts in the country. Current and former Democratic officials will be featured Former Congressman Gabby Giffordhas emerged as a leader against gun violence since the 2011 assassination attempt.

This is in addition to DNC sending mobile billboard trucks to county fairs in Republican districts in Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
“Trump’s Big Ugly Bill: A $4 trillion gift for billionaires. The rest of us pay the price,” read the sign featuring the names and faces of each Republican House member.
And Democrats are increasingly confident when Republicans are looking for an effective message to sell Trump’s bill.
“Ugly law is a political disaster,” said Beto Shelton, a spokesman for the House Democrats’ campaign division. “Everyone hates it and because vulnerable House Republicans know it, that’s why they’re scared to face their constituents during the August break.”
