Analysis: For all the attention debt votes gather, political candidates and committees rarely invoke the complex issue in campaign ads.
Someone needs to tell members of Congress: The debt ceiling boogeyman doesn’t really exist.
This panic is important because for almost two years Democrats had multiple opportunities to eliminate the debt ceiling issue — or at least punt it beyond even a potential second term for President Biden — but quite a few Democrats told leadership that they worried about the political look of increasing debt as they pursued a bold domestic agenda.
The data shows how naive those Democrats were to worry about voting on what voters see as an obscure, procedural issue, just as Republican fears of facing conservative primary challenges based on this vote are unfounded.AdImpact, which tracks and analyzes campaign spending, searched all of the ads run in House and Senate races during 2021 and 2022 for the terms “debt,” “debt ceiling” or “debt limit.” The independent firm found less than $9 million in ads mentioning those terms.
