The House Democrats’ campaign arm is trying to promote far-right candidates in primary races in swing districts as it hopes to create an easier path for the party to flip and retain seats in November.
The strategy, described by two GOP operatives as “risky” for Democrats, comes as the party faces headwinds in keeping the majority in the lower chamber during the midterm election cycle.
In the latest attempt to meddle in GOP primaries, the DCCC is set to spend $425,000 on a new TV ad promoting pro-Trump candidate John Gibbs in his effort to oust freshman Rep. Peter Meijer , a centrist who was one of the 10 Republicans to vote in favor of impeachment, in the race for the GOP nomination for Michigan’s 3rd Congressional District, which President Joe Biden won by 9 percentage points.
“We are confident that voters will see through Democrats' political games while Peter remains focused on the issues that matter most to the people he represents," she said. Meijer’s race is not the first time Democrats have attempted to boost a GOP candidate they see as an easier defeat in a general election, with the House Majority PAC having unsuccessfully attempted to promote Chris Mathys over centrist Rep. David Valadao in the primary race for California’s 22nd District, a D+5 seat.
