Democrats to Launch New Campaign Blaming the GOP for the ‘Least Productive Congress in Nearly a Century’

“House Republicans have wasted their majority with chaos and dysfunction, and the public is tired of it,” DCCC spokesperson Viet Shelton said in a statement.

The 118th Congress — marked less by legislation and more by the challenges Republicans faced in electing a speaker and then replacing him — was not a particularly productive session. Republicans themselves have admitted it, and now Democrats are attacking them for it.

In a new digital campaign called “USELESS,” the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is launching a series of ads Tuesday in which they intend to highlight the failures of the Republican-controlled House.

In a preview of the campaign shared exclusively with NOTUS, Democrats plan to call the current Congress “the most unproductive Congress in nearly a century.”
