The reporting
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries launched Democrats’ 100-day midterm push in battleground Pennsylvania, unveiling a “Fighting for an Affordable America” agenda focused on costs ahead of the Nov. 3 elections. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee began a digital ad campaign on Facebook and Instagram targeting 25 Republican-held House districts. Republicans enter the final stretch with narrow control of Congress, including a 218-212 House majority. Democratic committees are centering affordability, while Republicans point to redistricting gains and other structural advantages.
