The House Democratic campaign arm on Wednesday launched a multimillion-dollar ad blitz focused on Project 2025, a conservative blueprint for the next Republican presidency that Democrats have been trying to tie to former President Trump and GOP lawmakers.
The digital “get out the vote” ads from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) will focus on different aspects of the agenda that Democrats have been condemning, such as scaling back abortion access, eliminating the Department of Education, privatizing Social Security and cutting overtime pay, a DCCC press release said.
The DCCC noted that a recent survey it had released of battleground House districts found that 56 percent of registered voters have an unfavorable view of Project 2025, per a report from NOTUS.
Democrats and Republicans are in a fever-pitched battle for the House majority, which could go in the direction of either party. The GOP majority at present is just a handful of seats.
Trump has sought to distance himself from the conservative game plan, claiming that he has “nothing to do” with it. But a number of people connected to Trump wrote parts of the plan, leading Democrats to argue that various Project 2025 initiatives would be implemented in a new Trump government.
The release included a link to one of the ads titled “Door to Door,” in which a salesman knocks on doors, hoping to educate those who answer on the policy proposals in Project 2025.
