It’s officially campaign season: “The only thing beautiful about Trump’s bill will be the attack ads Democrats run talking about how Republicans cut Medicaid and SNAP from working class families to give tax breaks to rich people again,” a national Democratic strategist texted us Wednesday.
There are going to be a lot of those ads. The Democratic Governors Association on Wednesday announced $20 million in ad reservations for the New Jersey gubernatorial race, which NBC News reported was more than Gov. Phil Murphy and all his allied groups spent on ads in the 2021 race.
The cavalry has arrived for Republicans. NOTUS’ Reese Gorman reports on a $5 million nationwide ad campaign from American Action Network, the nonprofit arm of GOP leadership’s main super PAC, the Congressional Leadership Fund. The spot, going up in 29 congressional districts, touts Trump’s budget law as, “Giving working families the largest tax cut ever, cutting taxes on tips and overtime and strengthening our border, making our families safer.”
