Sen. Mitch McConnell reportedly said voters would “get over” Medicaid cuts. Democrats plan to do their best to ensure that’s not the case.
Democratic strategists told NOTUS they are recommending candidates put a heavy focus on health care to keep Medicaid at the top of voters’ minds going into the midterm elections. One strategist said he has been advising clients to make health care messaging the lion’s share of their ad budget.
“I would tell any Democrat running for office this cycle that everything should be a contrast between what he or she is going to do to lower costs and protect health care and what Republicans are doing to cut health care costs,” said Ian Russell, a partner at Beacon Media and alum of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
