Dems roll out ads hitting Republicans on Medicaid
Democrats are preparing to launch an ad war against Republicans over President Donald Trump's 'big, beautiful bill.' House Majority Forward, the nonprofit affiliated with House Democratic leadership and House Majority PAC, will start running digital ads next week attacking House Republicans voting to cut Medicaid spending, according to a spokesperson for the group. The ads will appear in 25 battleground districts in California, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin. Protect Our Care, another Democrat-aligned group, has already spent $10 million on Medicaid-related TV ads in swing seats, and they're planning to expand on that ad buy next week, according to a person directly familiar with the decision who was granted anonymity to speak freely. Unrig Our Economy, another Democratic group, is already airing a radio ad attacking Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-Iowa) for her vote to move the bill out of committee, and they're expected to run more ads like it against Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-N.J.) and Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.). 'The core argument in the midterms and the TLDR on this budget is it's the largest cut to Medicaid in history,' said Jesse Ferguson, a Democratic strategist. 'As people find that out, they know it's not a nipping or tucking of the program, it's a fucking of the people on it.' Democrats see Republicans as vulnerable on the issue with their own base. In 2024, Trump built his winning coalition, in part, on growing support among working class voters across racial groups — a reality emphasized by Steve Bannon, Trump's former adviser, who warned Republicans in February to be careful around Medicaid cuts because there are 'a lot of MAGAs on Medicaid.' A Morning Consult analysis found that Trump won more Medicaid beneficiaries, 49 percent, than Kamala Harris, who won 47 percent of them. Trump told Republican House members this week to not 'fuck around with Medicaid.' 'They're trying to appeal to working class voters, and they've been successful at it, but the real world consequences are going to start hitting those voters and I think it'll hurt Republicans badly,' said Mike Lux, a Democratic consultant who focuses on working class voters. 'For the Republican Party, in the long run, it's going to be very hard to appeal to working class voters if their Medicaid gets cut.' Republicans, for their part, plan to cast the bill as protecting the program for deserving recipients while reducing fraud and spending for undocumented immigrants. The domestic policy megabill passed by House Republicans on Thursday would move the start date of Medicaid work requirements from Jan. 1, 2029 to Dec. 31, 2026. It would also put more restrictions on states that offer coverage to undocumented people, including potential cuts to federal funding. The National Republican Congressional Committee said Friday it is launching ads targeting Democrats in 25 battlegrounds over the spending bill — not mentioning Medicaid but accusing Democrats of voting for 'the largest U.S. tax hike in generations' to pay for 'freebies' for undocumented immigrants. 'National Democrats' tired, baseless playbook of Medicaid attacks continues to fall flat because all they have to show the American people are distractions instead of results,' said Mike Marinella, a spokesperson for the NRCC. 'House Democrats just provided Republicans a midterm sledgehammer with their vote, and we will make sure voters across the country know they're putting criminal illegal immigrants over vulnerable Americans.' Running on health care is a familiar playbook for Democrats, who won the House back in 2018 by primarily attacking Republicans for their efforts to dismantle the Affordable Care Act. But even Democrats acknowledge the issue isn't a panacea for them. Some of the changes to Medicaid — like enacting work requirements — won't take place until after this midterms, which could make them less salient to voters. 'I always think that arguments you want to make about bad things Republicans are doing actually has to be something they've really done, and that people really feel it,' said Anna Greenberg, a Democratic pollster. Still, she said, 'There's been a misconception over the years that it is less popular than Social Security and Medicare because it is a program for poor people. That it is some pay welfare program. And that's just not true.' Andrew Howard contributed to this report.

GOP's legal threats sink Democrats' billboard attacks over Medicaid
The House GOP's campaign arm in recent weeks has successfully pressed three advertising companies to pull down Democratic billboard displays bashing vulnerable Republicans over Medicaid — a setback to Democratic campaigners hoping to make health care a liability for battleground Republicans around the country. In a series of cease-and-desist letters, the National Republican Campaign Committee (NRCC) said the imposing roadside ads — sponsored by a splinter group of the top Democratic super PAC in six battleground districts — promoted 'patently false' claims against the targeted GOP incumbents, warning the companies that they would be complicit in defaming those lawmakers if the billboards were left up for public consumption. The threat proved successful — the billboards in all six districts were taken down almost immediately. The development, parts of which were first reported by the Washington Examiner, has buoyed Republican campaign operatives, who say it gives them a playbook for defusing Democratic messaging — which has leaned heavily on warnings that Republicans intend to gut Medicaid — heading into next year's midterms. 'This proves our argument that Democrats are lying in their Medicaid messaging, and will make it much more challenging for them to make those arguments going forward,' said Mike Marinella, national spokesperson for the NRCC. Democrats think otherwise. They're defending the veracity of their Medicaid campaign, saying the ad companies didn't pull the billboards on the basis of the accuracy of the NRCC complaint, but because they're terrified of the current political moment, in which President Trump is attacking political opponents in the public and private sectors alike. 'These were unfortunately decisions not based in fact, but made due to coercion and threats from anti-free speech Republicans,' said CJ Warnke, spokesperson for House Majority Forward, a liberal advocacy group closely affiliated with the House Democrats' leading super PAC. 'House Republicans and the [Congressional Budget Office] have publicly confirmed that they are cutting Medicaid, and they will stop at nothing to silence the truth.' The billboard fight is just one battle line in the broader partisan clash over the Republicans' plans for enacting Trump's favored tax cuts and broader domestic agenda, the fate of which could hinge on how GOP leaders approach Medicaid. Amid that fight, House Majority Forward (HMF) contracted last month with three companies to display billboard ads in six districts held by Republicans facing tough reelection contests across five states: Virginia, Texas, Nebraska, Pennsylvania and Colorado. Weeks earlier, those lawmakers voted to adopt the House Republicans' budget blueprint, designed to usher Trump's agenda into law, which set the stage for steep Medicaid cuts later in the year. Each billboard contained the same formulaic message, accusing the GOP lawmaker of voting 'to cut Medicaid in order to give billionaires like him tax cuts.' The 'him' was a reference to Elon Musk, the world's wealthiest person and the leader of Trump's efforts to slash federal spending, whose picture appeared on the billboards along with the targeted lawmaker. HMF's broadest contract was with Lamar Advertising Company, a Louisiana-based firm hired to display the Medicaid attack ads in four GOP districts, represented by Reps. Jen Kiggans and Rob Wittman in Virginia, Monica De La Cruz in Texas and Ryan Mackenzie in Pennsylvania. On March 19, NRCC lawyers wrote to Lamar arguing that the HMF's claims are 'demonstrably false,' noting that nowhere in the House-passed budget resolution was Medicaid even mentioned. If the company did not pull down the ads, the NRCC warned, 'you will be liable for the defamatory messages spread to voters in each district.' 'To avoid defaming a half-dozen sitting Members of Congress, your company must cease any and all plans to display these billboards to the public,' the NRCC lawyers wrote. The same day, Wendi B. Loup, Lamar's assistant general counsel, responded with a letter, sent via email, saying the company had complied with the request. 'Lamar's National Sales Campaign Specialist has confirmed that the copy is no longer running,' she wrote. Loup also offered 'to assist the NRCC with counter messages or future campaigns.' A spokesperson for HMF accused the NRCC of using 'dirty tricks' to force the hand of Lamar, while alleging the company has ties to GOP Speaker Mike Johnson (La.), which might have been a factor in Lamar's decision. Loup and Lamar did not respond to requests for comment. HMF hired a second contractor, Georgia-based Link Media Outdoor, to display a billboard ad in Nebraska attacking GOP Rep. Don Bacon over Medicaid. On March 22, the NRCC sent a cease-and-desist letter to Kerry Yoakum, general counsel for Link Media, with the same defamation warning the group sent to Lamar. On March 24, Yoakum responded to say the company 'has decided to tell the advertiser that it will no longer run the advertising content but will allow them to submit revised content that accurately reflects the circumstances.' 'If they decide to resubmit, I will review the content to determine that it is accurate,' he added. The HMF spokesperson said the group declined to submit a revised ad 'because we stand by the facts' of the original message. The spokesperson also claimed that, during discussions between lawyers for HMF and Link Media, the company's counsel expressed fears of sparking a public 'controversy' if the billboards were not pulled down. Yoakum and Link Media did not respond to requests for comment. HMF's contract with a third company, Colorado-based Street Media Group, followed the same narrative arc. Street Media was hired to run an attack ad in the district of Rep. Gabe Evans (Colo.), a vulnerable Republican who represents a region north of Denver. On March 26, the NRCC wrote to the company with its defamation threat. The same day, Ashley Steinbach, Street Media's general manager, responded to say the company had 'addressed the concern, and the ad was taken down as of 4:15 MDT this afternoon.' Citing conversations with Street Media, the HMF spokesperson said the company simply wanted to 'avoid becoming part of a political battle.' Reached by phone on Tuesday, Steinbach declined to comment. At the heart of the dispute is the fate of the Medicaid program under the Republicans' recently adopted budget blueprint, which GOP leaders passed through both chambers of Congress earlier this month. Trump's agenda includes several major provisions, including an extension of his 2017 tax cuts, which by themselves would add trillions of dollars to the federal debt. To counter those deficit spending effects, House GOP leaders have vowed to cut at least $1.5 trillion from federal programs over the next 10 years. More than half of that — $880 billion — is under the purview of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which has jurisdiction over Medicaid. The Congressional Budget Office, Congress's independent scorekeeper, has asserted that it's mathematically impossible to reach that level of savings without hundreds of billions of dollars in cuts to Medicaid spending. Republicans say they can reach their mark by cutting waste, fraud and abuse under Medicaid, which provides health coverage to more than 70 million low-income and disabled people. They're also floating eligibility changes, like new work requirements for able-bodied adults. Both strategies, they say, would allow Republicans to cut Medicaid costs without cutting patient benefits. During last week's House vote on the GOP budget blueprint, moderate Republicans pressed Johnson and GOP leaders for assurances that their support for the resolution wouldn't translate into cuts to Medicaid benefits later in the year. They said they got that pledge. 'We just wanted to be clear again with the Speaker, as we've had numerous times before, that we won't vote for something that shifts benefits from seniors and our vulnerable population that rely on traditional Medicaid,' Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.) said after the vote. Democrats aren't convinced that there's any way to slash Medicaid spending at the levels the GOP budget demands without eroding patient benefits. They're vowing to continue taking that message directly to voters — even after the NRCC's success in taking down the Medicaid billboards. 'Republicans can run from their proposal, which is the largest Medicaid cut in American history, but we will never allow them to hide,' House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) told reporters in the Capitol last week. 'Now that the committee process has been set in motion in connection with the budget resolution,' he continued, 'they will have to spell out the very cuts to Medicaid and other programs that we have been making clear for weeks now they are determined to visit on the American people.'

Vendor pulls Dem group's ad against U.S. Rep. Don Bacon after legal threat by NRCC
A screenshot provided by the House Majority Forward of the ad against Republican U.S. Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska. (Courtesy of House Majority Forward) LINCOLN — A national advertising vendor pulled a billboard ad targeting U.S. Rep. Don Bacon from a Democratic-aligned group after the National Republican Congressional Committee, or NRCC, pressured them with a threat of legal action. Last week, the NRCC succeeded in removing some similar House Majority Forward ads running in four of six swing districts held by House Republicans that the group targeted. The NRCC told the Examiner last week they were trying to find the vendor who handled the anti-Bacon ads and would 'get them taken down.' The group called the ads 'defamatory' because of the claim of Bacon voting to 'cut' Medicaid. Bacon has said the ads were 'dishonest' on social media. The House Majority Forward ad referred to Bacon's vote for a proposed GOP budget, which included a level of cuts that a non-partisan federal budget office said earlier this month can't happen without cutting Medicare or Medicaid. Bacon and others claim the cuts can happen without touching Medicaid and other social programs, but they have not specified what they would cut. On Monday, the NRCC sent the ad vendor, Link Media, a cease and desist letter. The NRCC shared a reply to its letter saying that Link Media would 'no longer run the advertising content.' 'But [we] will allow them to submit revised content that accurately reflects the circumstances. If they decide to resubmit, I will review the content to determine that it is accurate,' a Link Media spokesperson wrote in the reply, which was obtained by the Examiner. The vendor did not immediately return messages seeking comment. House Majority Forward hasn't responded to requests this week for comment about pulling the ad. But a spokesperson last week said the NRCC had used 'dirty tricks' to remove the others. The cease-and-desist letter the NRCC sent Link Media is similar to one it sent last week to Lamar Advertising Co. It shows the NRCC telling the ad vendor, 'If you proceed with displaying the false message that these six Members of Congress voted to 'CUT MEDICAID,' you will be liable for the defamatory messages spread to voters in each district.' The House Majority Forward ad had said, 'Don Bacon voted to cut Medicaid' to give billionaires like Elon Musk tax cuts. The anti-Bacon billboards from House Majority Forward were part of a larger campaign by the DNC and other Democratic-aligned groups to soften six 'vulnerable' House Republicans representing swing districts. The ads emphasized Musk and his U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team's efforts to cut federal programs and end some federal agencies. All three Nebraska House Republicans voted yes for the proposed GOP budget that would expand the 2017 Trump tax cuts and cut up to $2 trillion in spending.
