‘Republicans Are Running Scared’: DCCC Memo Claims Voters Are ‘Pissed’ at the Reconciliation Bill

“The sense of buyer’s remorse is real and growing daily. The more the American people learn about it, the more they hate it,” the DCCC memo says.

Republicans in Congress are back in their districts with an important charge this August recess: sell the reconciliation bill to voters.

Republicans are taking heat from voters on a number of fronts, from Jeffrey Epstein to Medicaid cuts. And in a memo obtained exclusively by NOTUS, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee notes that Republicans are having major trouble selling the reconciliation bill, with the campaign arm for House Democrats predicting that legislation will be “THE defining issue of the midterms.”
