Democrats ramp up spending sales pitch | TheHill

And if we don’t deliver real results to the American people in a tangible way that they can feel then our democracy is likely at risk,” said Sen. Chris MurphyChristopher (Chris) Scott MurphySchumer working to unify Democrats ahead of infrastructure fight Key Senate Democrats undecided on Biden's ATF nominee  Democrats under new pressure to break voting rights stalemate MORE (D-Conn.).Democrats have seen warning signs that they’re struggling to get their message out and counter GOP talking points.A post-2020 election analysis, released in May by the centrist group Third Way, The Collective Political Action Committee and Latino Victory found that the party’s lack of a core economic and pandemic recovery argument contributed to its losses and that Republicans were able to successfully label Democrats as “radicals.”And a pro-Biden outside group, Unite the Country, wrote in a memo last month that Democrats need to step up their efforts to tout Biden’s coronavirus plan and explain what’s in the American jobs and families plan, calling them “worryingly undefined.”“Democrats must communicate much more aggressively to define success for the ARP and to explain why it is important to pass the American Jobs Act and the American Families Plan,” the memo says, referring to the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan.A June poll released by Data for Progress found that 51 percent of likely voters had heard little or nothing about the expanded child tax credit included in the coronavirus plan.Democrats appear to be trying to fix that by blanketing cable networks, giving floor speeches, holding press conferences and hosting events in their home states to tout the expanded benefit.
