ICYMI: New CfG Ad “Praises Fetterman — And Presses Him On Trump Tax Cuts”
In case you missed it, Politico’s Holly Otterbein published an exclusive report on a new Club for Growth TV advertisement that will air statewide in Pennsylvania this Sunday pushing Senator Fetterman to vote to extend and expand President Trump’s tax cuts.
“By supporting President Trump’s tax cuts, Senator Fetterman can truly put Pennsylvanians before party politics and make even more woke socialist heads explode.” – David McIntosh, Club for Growth President

Politico Excerpts:
The Club for Growth, the anti-tax organization, is airing a TV ad on Fox News this weekend that describes the Pennsylvania senator as “standing up for every working family in PA” as he faces mounting questions about his health.
But if much of the ad is laudatory, the spot, first shared with POLITICO, is aimed at pushing Fetterman to vote for Trump’s megabill.
“Everyone in Pennsylvania will benefit if Fetterman helps extend and expand Trump’s tax cuts,” says the narrator in the ad, which is running statewide on Sunday. “Tell him: Keep fighting for PA. Extend and expand Trump’s tax cuts.”
…
Fetterman — who has a heterodoxical streak that sometimes angers members of his own party — has recently been squeezed by both sides of the political spectrum, as some on the left have criticized him over his hardline stance on Israel and his January meeting with Trump. On the right, Club for Growth President David David McIntosh urged Fetterman in a statement to back Trump’s tax package, saying that by “supporting President Trump’s tax cuts, Senator Fetterman can truly put Pennsylvanians before party politics and make even more woke socialist heads explode.”
