Democrats plan to highlight 'middle-class tax cut' during congressional recess
WASHINGTON -- Democratic lawmakers will spend August touting how President Joe Biden’s agenda delivered direct financial assistance for some Americans, according to a new memo issued Tuesday, as they prepare to face voters during the scheduled congressional recess.
The memo, obtained by McClatchy and co-signed by the party’s three top national political organizations, amounts to an early indication of how Democrats plan to defend their slim congressional majorities ahead of next year’s midterm elections, emphasizing economic issues and highlighting GOP opposition to their policies.
“As members of Congress begin heading to their home states and districts, Democrats are unified around a single message: President Biden and Democrats are delivering results and building back better for the American people — no thanks to Republicans,” said the memo, written by officials from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and Democratic National Committee.
The memo points to three policies that Democratic members of the House and Senate intend to highlight: the White House’s new child tax credit policy, potential infrastructure investments and additional health care spending. The child tax credit and health care spending were part of the nearly $2 trillion pandemic relief package Biden signed into law in March after Congress passed it along party-line votes.
