Taking Back The House: Republicans Targeting 40 Democrats To Beat In 2022

On Wednesday, the National Republican Congressional Committee released a new digital advertising campaign highlighting the 40 Democrats they plan on targeting ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, according to the Washington Examiner.

The group is reportedly spending upwards of $10,000 on the campaign, which parodies the poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas," also known as "'Twas the Night Before Christmas," taking shots at several congressional Democrats, including some who are running in newly redistricted areas.

The ad will run in approximately 40 districts and focuses on Democrats that Republicans believe to be vulnerable, such as Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio, whose district was recently reapportioned, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chairman, Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, D-N.Y.

The 30-second advertisement offers what has become a standard line of attack from the Republicans: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her Democratic colleagues are needlessly overspending and callously ignoring the economic pain caused by historically high inflation.

"Twas the holiday season and all through the land, House Democrats' spending was completely out of hand," a narrator is heard reading out dramatically in the ad, which is titled "Not So Merry Christmas," and shows Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Tom Malinowski, D-N.J., and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., among others.

"Inflation was rising, a 40-year high, but Pelosi and her puppets did not bat an eye," the ad goes on. "Now gasoline and groceries are costing you more, and families are struggling like never before. Celebrating the Christmas season should not be this tough: Tell your Democrat representative you've had enough."

"Christmas will be harder for families this year thanks to the inflation crisis Democrats caused with their reckless spending," Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Minn, chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, said in a statement Wednesday. "Americans can't afford to foot the bill for Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden's Big-Government agenda any longer."
