Americans for Prosperity Pressures Dems to Support Tax Reform with New Ad

Americans for Prosperity launched an ad campaign Thursday buying $45 million in ad time to pressure three red-state Democrats to support President Donald Trump’s tax reform initiative.

The Koch-affiliated group, will layout money for ads in Indiana, Missouri, and Wisconsin the home states of Joe Donnelly, Claire McCaskill and Tammy Baldwin.

This is just the first wave of pro-tax reform ad spending according to a representative of the group.

The three Democrats face a difficult re-election if they don’t support the GOP plan as they herald from states that supported Trump in 2016.

Donnelly and McCaskill have both personally accompanied the president to events where he told the crowd to vote them out if they don’t support his tax reform effort.
