Democrats Attack GOP Tax Bill, Energizing Base | JQJO

Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego rallied hundreds in Iowa, criticizing the Republican tax bill as harmful. This event contrasted sharply with a Nebraska town hall where Rep. Mike Flood faced jeers over the same bill. Democrats are using the bill's unpopularity, particularly its Medicaid cuts, to energize their base and attack Republicans ahead of the 2024 midterms. Polls show widespread public belief that the law benefits the wealthy and harms low-income individuals. Other prominent Democrats, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders, are similarly targeting the bill in Republican districts.
