This recess week, Democrats were planning to go on the offense against Republicans in their own districts. Now Democratic infighting could distract from that effort.
Democrats were planning to hold town halls in red districts across the country to take advantage of many Republicans passing up in-person events on the advice of the House GOP’s campaign arm. Democrats were eager to call out Republicans for DOGE cuts and the threats their party poses to programs like Medicaid.
But Senate Democrats’ decision to support the funding bill muddles the message. Many House Democrats will now have to contend with constituents not just just angry at Republicans, but at senators from their own party, too.
