Overview
- The Democratic National Committee, in partnership with the DCCC, has unveiled a seven-figure grassroots campaign called 'Fight to Save Medicaid.'
- The initiative focuses on pressuring four House Republicans—Tom Barrett, Don Bacon, Mike Lawler, and Brian Fitzpatrick—representing swing districts to oppose the GOP budget plan.
- The proposed budget includes over $800 billion in Medicaid cuts and $200 billion in SNAP reductions to offset $4.5 trillion in extended tax cuts.
- At least a dozen moderate House Republicans have expressed concerns about the deep Medicaid cuts, highlighting divisions within the party's narrow three-seat majority in the House.
- The DNC's strategy involves hosting town halls, mobilizing local voters, and leveraging digital outreach to amplify opposition ahead of a potential Memorial Day vote.
