Five Questions for Don Bacon on McCarthy’s Extreme MAGA Agenda

Just weeks after House Democrats prevented a GOP-manufactured default, Speaker Kevin McCarthy is putting highly vulnerable Rep. Don Bacon at risk just to placate his far-right base as they threaten his weakening grip on the Speaker’s gavel.

Nebraskans deserve to know if Bacon will stand up for his constituents or continue to stand with McCarthy and his extreme agenda.

  • Will Bacon support efforts to fast track the GOP Tax Scam 2.0 to give tax giveaways to the wealthy and well-connected, and protect tax cheats?

  • Will Bacon vote for ongoing Republican efforts to enact a nationwide abortion ban?

  • Does Bacon support the political stunts targeting FBI Director Christopher Wray?

  • Does Bacon support right-wing efforts to impeach the Homeland Security Secretary?

  • Does Bacon want to impeach President Biden for overseeing the creation of 13 million jobs in 28 months?

Recent polling suggests vulnerable House Republicans – including Don Bacon – are prioritizing the wrong issues. 

DCCC spokesperson Jacob Haythorn
“Vulnerable House Republicans like Don Bacon are seemingly ok with bailing out Kevin McCarthy and advancing the Freedom Caucus’ extreme agenda at the direct expense of Nebraskans. Bacon’s continued deference to McCarthy’s radical and dangerous priorities is only helping Democrats build the case against them in 2024.”
