Democrats are set to roll out a major spending campaign that will highlight the benefits of the recently signed Inflation Reduction Act while seeking to recast President Joe Biden as a consequential and effective leader.
Biden is spending much of August on vacation, but his Cabinet members have spread out across the country to sell voters on his suddenly moving agenda, seeking to avoid a Democratic wipeout in the midterm elections.
“Every single Democrat in the House and the Senate — every single one — voted for the Inflation Reduction Act, and every single Republican — every single one — voted against prescription drug negotiation,” White House chief of staff Ron Klain told CNN Thursday. “[Republicans] voted against more incentives for clean energy, voted against a cap on what you spend out of pocket for your prescription drugs, voted against reducing health insurance premiums.”
Klain’s words are a preview of what voters are likely to hear from Democrats this fall on television ads and in their social media feeds.
A trio of Democratic groups is rolling out a $10 million national TV ad campaign to sell voters on the Inflation Reduction Act, Politico reported, as well as to ward off Republican attacks related to the bill.
