NEW MEMO: House Democrats’ First Big Vote Is a GOP Political Weapon for 2026

February 27, 2025

This week, House Democrats stepped on a landmine for their first big vote of the 119th Congress and turned their backs on working class Americans by voting to hike their taxes.

A new NRCC memo, first reported by Punchbowl News, shows how this vote is an anvil around the ankles of vulnerable House Democrats and how the NRCC plans to weaponize it to ensure Democrats will lose in 2026.

“House Democrats made their priorities crystal clear this week: They’re taking a wrecking ball to America’s economy and bucking the working class with higher taxes just to ram their radical agenda down the throats of all Americans. Voters will consistently be reminded of this betrayal all the way through next Fall.” — NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella
