The American Bridge 21st Century super political action committee (PAC), founded by Media Matters for America chief David Brock and funded by left-wing billionaire George Soros, is planning to spend $50 million targeting President Trump’s conservative political base in rural areas on the issue of health care.
Breitbart reports that American Bridge, a major source of opposition research, polled voters in small towns and rural areas and found that the president is vulnerable among his base on health care. Only 25% of respondents gave Trump a positive rating for “reducing health care costs,” and only 39% favored Trump on “taking on the drug and pharmaceutical companies.”
American Bridge hopes to shift just enough of Trump’s rural support to push key states toward the Democrats.
