The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is readying a multimillion dollar ad campaign aimed at bolstering vulnerable GOP lawmakers who voted for President Donald Trump’s tax cut while also urging thousands of member companies to alert workers as to why their paychecks may have increased this month.
Outside political groups are already running ads against Democratic senators who opposed the tax bill and small armies of college students will soon be knocking on doors in northern Virginia, South Florida and the Philadelphia suburbs touting the newly enacted law.
It’s all part of a growing GOP offensive ahead of this fall’s midterm elections based on the assumption that control of Congress depends on how Americans respond to the nation’s new tax system. CONT.
