Democrats target vulnerable Republicans over plan to cut social safety net

DNC to campaign against Trump's one, beautiful bill' to reduce public spending by at least $1.5tn to pay for tax cuts

Democrats plan to put the squeeze on four of the most vulnerable Republicans in Congress as the GOP gears up to pass a massive bill that may slash the social safety net to pay for tax cuts.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Friday announced the Fight to Save Medicaid", a pressure campaign that aims to derail the bill's passage in the House of Representatives, where Republicans hold only a three-seat majority.
