House Democrats are homing in on their campaign messaging for the 2024 cycle, releasing a memo outlining a slew of talking points party candidates should use against vulnerable Republicans next year.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the main fundraising arm for House Democrats, unveiled the attack plan last week, seeking to target Republicans running in districts President Joe Biden won in 2020 that were key to the GOP’s victory in last year’s midterm elections. The memo gives an early glimpse into what voter issues Democratic candidates are likely to seize on, including abortion, law enforcement, and veteran services.
“Despite campaign promises to be independent, these vulnerable Republicans time and time again have voted in lockstep with the most extreme MAGA Members in their party to rip away women’s reproductive freedom, cut services for veterans, defund law enforcement, gut manufacturing jobs, and uphold a culture of corruption in Washington – all while ignoring the kitchen table issues like lowering costs and creating good-paying jobs,” the memo states. “Expect to see ties to extreme Republicans and these key issues in paid media against vulnerable Republicans next fall.”
The memo specifically names 18 House Republicans that were identified earlier this year as Democrats’ top targets in the 2024 elections, citing each lawmaker's voting record along party lines. The DCCC accused the GOP lawmakers of voting on average nearly 94% of the time with “the MAGA extremists” in the party despite running on campaigns that vowed bipartisanship.
