Clinton Super PAC expands into House races

The super PAC aligned with Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is expanding its target list into the House, beyond a pair of Senate races in which it is already tying Republicans to their presidential nominee, Donald Trump.

Priorities USA, an independent group designed primarily to elect Clinton, is now funding a 30-second ad in Iowa that has the double effect of hitting Trump for his controversial statements and tagging freshman Rep. Rod Blum (R) for his continued support of his party’s presidential nominee.

“Send me back to Congress, and you send Donald Trump to the White House,” Blum says at a campaign rally in the 30-second ad, after an array of controversial Trump statements appear on the screen. “Rod Blum still supports Trump today and even attacked Republicans who spoke out against Trump,” the narrator says.

It’s the latest expansion of the presidential campaign into the down-ballot races. On the stump herself, Clinton has been taking sharper aim at Republican members of Congress for their support of Trump, as her campaign has moved resources and staff into states that have gone traditionally Republican in presidential contests.
