WASHINGTON �� Democrats are betting that with the help of a wave of TV and digital ads they can finally make the upcoming election about health care and taxes.
They just hope voters will tune out President Donald Trump long enough to listen.
Since Trump's election, Democratic Party leaders have said they would emphasize pocketbook issues, convinced that an economic focus was necessary to win in November's midterm elections. But Trump has made it difficult, using his bully pulpit and the all-consuming attention he commands in the media to compel Democrats to discuss anything but the economy, from kneeling NFL players to special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.
