Progressive groups launch $2 million campaign to pressure Republicans over Biden agenda
Several progressive groups are launching a $2 million campaign to pressure Republican lawmakers up for reelection in key states to back President Joe Biden's agenda.
Led by Tax March, progressive nonprofit organizations will be holding protests and running ads versus GOP representatives in states such as Ohio and Wisconsin. Republicans aren't expected to support Biden's budget plan, which is facing some resistance among centrists in the Democratic Party, as is. Yet Democrats could use GOP opposition to popular parts of the agenda as a political hammer during next year's elections.
"Republicans have spent the last few months trying to change the topic every chance they get, but these ad campaigns mean people will hear about it, whether Republicans like it or not," Ferguson said on Monday.
