The Democratic National Committee is getting into the ad fight over the ongoing government shutdown.
The DNC on Friday is rolling out digital spots on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook, along with billboards and bus shelter ads near hospitals and clinics in a handful of Republican-held battleground House districts. The ads, shared first with CQ Roll Call, focus on notices that health insurance providers are set to send out this month detailing premium costs for 2026 plans.
“Right after the holidays, health care costs for Americans across the country are going to more than double because Republicans are refusing to work with Democrats to fix this crisis,” DNC Chair Ken Martin said in a statement. “That’s why the DNC is going to make sure families everywhere know that Republicans are about to wreck their pocketbooks and price them out of health insurance.”
