The Freedom Caucus Fund is blitzing the airwaves with $6 million worth of political advertising in six races across the country, Fox News Digital is learning first.
“Each of their opponents are far-left, socialist Democrats who support amnesty for illegal aliens, wide open borders, repealing the Trump tax cuts to fund welfare handouts for noncitizens, men in women’s sports, and their top priority, impeaching President Trump,” a spokesperson for the Freedom Caucus Fund told Fox News Digital. “With a little over 40 days until the November 3 election, thanks to this Freedom Caucus Fund ad campaign, voters in these districts will find out just how crazy these Democrats are.”

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK: HOUSE CONTROL COULD HINGE ON WHETHER THE OLD POLITICAL RULES STILL APPLY
It comes as Republicans are fighting an uphill nationwide battle to keep control of the House and Senate in November.
