Democrats have identified four vulnerable Republican House lawmakers to pressure in their campaign against the GOP’s much-anticipated reconciliation bill.
The Democratic National Committee and the official campaign arm for House Democrats are planning a paid media and town hall blitz targeting Reps. Tom Barrett of Michigan, Don Bacon of Nebraska, Mike Lawler of New York and Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania this month as part of their efforts to block major spending cuts. All four Republicans represent districts on the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s list of “districts in play” for 2026.
Democrats have dubbed the month of action the “Fight to Save Medicaid.” The message: “A deeply unpopular vote against Medicaid cuts this month will cost you your seat come the midterms,” according to the DNC’s announcement of the campaign shared with NOTUS.
