As House Republican leaders scramble to unify their conference on a government spending deal, Democrats are seizing the moment to paint themselves as the responsible party in the chamber and place all the blame on the GOP’s shoulders.
Progress on appropriations bills has been at a standstill over the last two weeks as members within the Republican Party disagree on topline numbers and push for the inclusion of certain provisions in exchange for their support. Democrats, for the most part, have stayed out of the drama — instead letting Republicans take the reins and, if necessary, the blame for a possible government shutdown.
The White House also sent out a missive to House Democrats on Wednesday outlining the negative effects of a government shutdown, such as a pay freeze for law enforcement officers, complications with FEMA disaster relief response, and more. And their message is the same: If those things happen, Republicans are to blame.
The $500,000 ad campaign includes spots during a series of highly anticipated college football games on Saturday, accusing the lawmakers of being responsible for a possible government shutdown. The ad campaign will be released in conjunction with Democratic-aligned groups League of Conservation Voters and Climate Power.
