Levin, and seven others on the list, had won their races in the 2020 election by fewer than 10 percentage points and underperformed Joe Biden on the presidential ballot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Billings also mentions that Rep. Levin and Rep. Katie Porter of the mid-south Orange County \u201c&#8230; have consistently taken far-left votes and are out of touch with their constituents. In 2020, Porter and Levin underperformed President Biden by 4.4% and 6.5%, respectively. With Democrats only moving further to the left.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the 2020 election, Democrat Levin had won by 6.3 percentage points.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Billings also compares the budget between the NRCC and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee \u201c&#8230; that means Republicans\u2019 financial advantage is over $5.6 million\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to opensecrets.org, a nonpartisan, nonprofit research group, the NRCC spent less than $300 million in the 2020 elections, whereas the DCCC spent over $300 million during the two-year cycle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Billings concludes the list by stating \u201cthe NRCC enters this cycle with more net cash on hand than the DCCC, and House Republicans are fully prepared to bring the fight to House Democrats. With a proven record of strong candidate recruitment, aggressive messaging and the necessary resources, Republicans will win back the House in 2022.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Photo via NRCC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Amanda Angulo The Executive Director of the National Republican Congressional Committee, John Billings, has released a hit list of Democrats.\u00a0 47 Democrats are being targeted to be held accountable for their socialist agenda and for being out of touch with their constituents.\u00a0 The agenda that the Democrats are pushing is too extreme for&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":5319,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5315","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Rep.
