House GOP targets 35 Democrats over funding vote

The House Republican campaign committee is targeting 35 vulnerable Democrats for voting against a funding measure to prevent a government shutdown. The GOP passed the bill with a 217-213 vote, relying solely on Republican support. The bill cuts non-defense spending by $13 billion and increases defense spending by $6 billion. One Democrat, Jared Golden, voted in favor, while Republican Thomas Massie opposed it, facing potential primary challenges. The National Republican Congressional Committee is launching digital ads in the districts of targeted Democrats. The ads criticize Democrats for their opposition to the funding bill, which they claim harms the American public.
