A recently leaked five-page memo from the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) reveals the party’s strategic plans to defend President Donald Trump’s megabill during Congress’s August recess. The document, obtained by Politico, outlines detailed instructions for Republican House members on how to handle communication about the bill ahead of next year’s midterms.
The NRCC’s memo urges Republican lawmakers to actively promote the megabill instead of staying quiet while Democrats push their own narrative about the legislation being a tax cut for the wealthy. The party leadership wants members to take control of the message, particularly regarding controversial aspects like Medicaid changes.
