House Republicans’ campaign arm is urging its members to keep their foot on the gas in touting the conference’s work to cut taxes and lower costs ahead of the 2026 midterms.
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) rolled out an internal polling memo Thursday arguing the One Big Beautiful Bill Act gives Republicans a crucial leg up in the cycle’s messaging battle against Democrats to maintain House control in 2026. Lawmakers, however, must seize the moment to communicate the new law’s benefits to voters — while hammering Democrats’ votes against the legislation’s tax relief provisions and GOP efforts to lower costs, according to a copy of the memo obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The memo urges House Republicans to center their messaging around the positive role the new law is expected to play in easing working families’ cost-of-living concerns, arguing it will be the defining issue of the midterms. The top concern animating voters across 46 battleground districts is “Inflation/Cost of Living,” according to the document.
The NRCC argues that Republicans will have plenty of material to hammer their Democratic counterparts on the issue of affordability, citing Democrats’ votes to raise taxes in July and their opposition to policies that seek to lower costs and create new jobs in their districts. President Donald Trump’s sweeping law extended his 2017 tax cuts, shielded certain Americans from taxation on tips and overtime pay and expanded the child tax credit — among other provisions.
“The table is set in the issue matrix for Republicans to seize the high ground on the cost of living after every Democrat voted to allow Americans’ taxes to go up,” the memo reads. “Our policies are designed to lower these costs and protect household budgets; Democrats opposed them.”
House Republicans are racing to define the party’s signature legislative accomplishment in Trump’s second term ahead of the midterms during which the party in power tends to shed seats.
Democrats have disparaged the law for months, claiming it takes from the poor to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy and large corporations. Early polling suggests Democrats’ fearmongering could be producing negative sentiment against the law.
