Democratic Group Kicks Off $50 Million Midterm Blitz in Conservative Strongholds
A major Democratic super PAC hopes to stretch the midterm battleground map by kicking off a roughly $50 million advertising campaign targeting Republicans in more than a dozen House districts and four Senate races, most of them in traditionally Republican areas.
The amount is the most ever spent in a midterm election by American Bridge, which has spent the past year studying the concerns of working-class voters and their media consumption habits and sees a rare opening for Democrats as President Trump’s approval rating plunges.
Bradley Beychok, the president of American Bridge, said in an interview that Republicans were vulnerable in parts of the country that had been exceedingly tough terrain for Democrats in recent elections.
“We’re going to Republican territory and planting a flag,” Mr. Beychok said in an interview. “These Republicans are in a world of hurt.”
