In a typical fashion, the Democrats are blaming Republicans for the government shutdown even though they voted for it. To make matters worse, they are launching ads criticizing Republicans for the shutdown.
The Democrats are targeting the ads in districts where they are trying to either flip or maintain seats for the upcoming midterms in 2026.
Fox News Reported:
FIRST ON FOX: House Democrats’ campaign arm is rolling out new ads to pressure Republicans to return to the negotiating table as the 2025 government shutdown is poised to enter its second week.
Democrats have sought to make the ongoing standoff into a healthcare fight, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., insisting their caucuses will not vote for a funding bill that does not include an extension of expiring Obamacare subsidies enhanced during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) is investing in a four-figure ad buy across 13 districts where Democrats believe they can hold or flip seats in the 2026 midterms.
The ads claim the Republican party is responsible for the shutdown but conveniently leave out the fact that they (the Democrats) voted for the shutdown because they did not get what they wanted regarding subsidies.
The Republicans said they were open to discussing subsidies at a later time and wanted to focus on keeping the government open.
Republicans also released ads earlier in the week to defend their actions and call out the Democrats for jeopardizing funds for small businesses, farmers, veterans and paychecks for members of the armed forces.
“Republicans have been pointing to Democrats’ counter-proposal for a CR as proof that Democrats are fighting to restore health care for illegal immigrants. The left’s plan called for repealing the health care changes made in the GOP’s “One Big, Beautiful Bill,” which, among other measures, tightened restrictions on who can access Medicaid,” Fox News reported.
The shutdown is evident that the Democrat party and its members of Congress prioritize illegal aliens over US citizens.
