Democratic senators are trying to get focus away from the Affordable Care Act, while Republicans are attempting to tie it back to the Democrats.
According to the Huffington Post, the two parties are competing for senator seats that will determine who controls the chamber in the last two years of Obama’s presidency.
Kay Hagan, North Carolina Democratic senator, condemned Republican Thom Tillis, North Carolina senator nominee, for forcefully applying ideas that are too conservative, such as limiting access to abortions, stricter voter registration laws, as well as cutting corporate taxes and school budgets.
Tillis has his own way to fight back for the votes by linking Democrats to Obamacare and convincing voters that the act was a failure.
“Obamacare continues to be a big problem,” Tillis said. He also described the act as “the greatest example of a promise not kept.”
Crossroads GPS, a Republican political group that is helping Tillis, is spending over $3.5 million to run ads on television in North Carolina. One of the ads attacked Hagan by asking if voters are aware that she casted “the deciding vote for Obamacare.”
While Tillis is making his campaign effort, Hagan is also working on her own. Hagan focuses on her achievements in North Carolina, including her support of providing medical care to military families that were exposed to tainted water at Camp Lejeune, the large Marine Corps base in North Carolina.
The $17 million spent on Tillis and Hagan’s senator election race holds the highest record in the nation.
