A liberal political committee put out digital ads this week painting the GOP as dysfunctional after Senate Republicans failed to pass a “skinny repeal” of the Affordable Care Act. American Bridge said it would run the ads in four states, including Florida, and will focus on targeting swing voters through social media. “The Republican Congress […]

(Update – The House of Representatives has announced that there will be no vote tonight on the GOP health care plan). In the hours left before Congress’ scheduled vote on the American Health Care Act, President Donald Trump and GOP House leadership were doing whatever it took to get the 216 votes necessary for passage of the bill. […]

Robots have been trailing Marco Rubio in New Hampshire, and now the liberal organization that dispatched them is out with a Web video. American Bridge 21st Century on Tuesday released a 40-second video of news coverage of the robots. The Web video — called “Domo Arigato Marco Roboto” — features cable news hosts and candidates talking […]

Perhaps it was because the promised pancake breakfast was canceled or that he was a half-hour late, but Marco Rubio‘s first appearance before New Hampshire voters was flat compared to other events in the Granite State the past week.

As Jeb Bush ends months of speculation on Monday by announcing a 2016 White House run, American Bridge 21st Century shoots back with a new digital ad claiming the former governor botched his campaign before it even began. In the 90-second spot – “Jeb Bush 2016: ‘Mission Accomplished’”– the progressive organization focuses on a series […]

Being a younger sibling has its drawbacks. Hand-me-downs, for one. Always living in an older brother’s shadow is another. So imagine Jeb Bush’s situation. Having two-term President George W. Bush as an older brother — who left as one of the least popular leaders in modern history — a White House run provides a long […]

When it comes to personal emails for public business, Jeb Bush is nothing short of a hypocrite, says the left-leaning American Bridge 21st Century. As the controversy lingers over Hillary Clinton’s emails, a new American Bridge video reminds the public of correspondence problems of Bush, another high-profile potential presidential candidate. Recently, Bush attacked Clinton for […]

CPAC, the annual winter confab held, begins Thursday in Washington, and American Bridge 21st Century is psyched. The liberal super PAC conducts opposition research to help out Democratic candidates and their organizations (we saw one of their cameramen in Sarasota to film the Rand Paul speech earlier this month). With some very slick editing, they’ve […]
