A group closely tied to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., is spending millions of dollars on a new ad campaign against 23 lawmakers, accusing Republicans of trying to take away healthcare from senior citizens and children.<\/p>\n
The ads, which begin running on Monday, accuse Republicans of \u2018threatening healthcare for 37 million kids and kicking seniors out of nursing homes just to make billionaires like Elon Musk even richer.\u2019<\/p>\n
Fox News Digital got a first look at a list of 23 Republican lawmakers being targeted by House Majority PAC (HMP), a fundraising operation aligned with Democratic leadership.<\/p>\n
The majority of them won close races across California, Pennsylvania, Arizona and other states that were critical to clinching the House GOP\u2019s razor-thin majority in the 119th Congress.<\/p>\n
Mike Smith, president of HMP\u2019s action arm House Majority Forward, linked the ads to House Republicans\u2019 vote last week to advance President Donald Trump\u2019s agenda via the budget reconciliation process.<\/p>\n
\u2018Last week, Republicans betrayed the American people \u2013 breaking their promise and paving the way to strip millions of men, women, and children of their health insurance,\u2019 Smith said. \u2018We will make sure every American knows exactly who is responsible.\u2019<\/p>\n

It\u2019s part of Democrats\u2019 continued pushback against the proposed $880 billion in cuts Republicans are seeking to programs under the jurisdiction of the House Energy & Commerce Committee.<\/p>\n
Republicans are looking for at least $1.5 trillion in cuts to government spending to offset the cost of Trump\u2019s priorities expected to be included in the bill, including eliminating taxes on tipped and overtime wages as well as more funding for U.S.-Mexico border operations.<\/p>\n
GOP lawmakers have consistently pointed out that Medicaid and other federal aid programs are not mentioned in the text of their framework for that legislation.<\/p>\n
Republicans have argued they are only looking to root out waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government. Trump, for his part, told reporters last week that he would not touch Medicaid.<\/p>\n
Mike Marinella, spokesman for House Republicans\u2019 campaign arm, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), told Fox News Digital in response to HMP, \u2018Democrats are running the same playbook of resorting to shameless fearmongering and outright lies because they\u2019re trying to hide the fact that they just voted to raise taxes on hardworking Americans. This is a disgusting, pathetic attempt to distract voters from their failures, and they know it.\u2019<\/p>\n
But Democrats and some moderate Republicans are skeptical that the savings can be found without cutting deeply into those programs.<\/p>\n
Democrats also appear to have found a potential new boogeyman in Musk ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, as he and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) work to find at least $1 trillion in cuts to the federal bureaucracy.<\/p>\n
HMP\u2019s ad strategy was first reported by Punchbowl News last week.<\/p>\n
The NRCC pointed Fox News Digital to a memo sent by them last week that accused Democrats of weaponizing the Trump budget bill vote.<\/p>\n
\u2018They have turned their backs on the working class and have taken a wrecking ball to America\u2019s fiscal future. This vote is an anvil around the ankles of vulnerable House Democrats, and the NRCC plans to weaponize it to ensure they lose their races in 2026,\u2019 the memo said.<\/p>\n\n
