Inside the House GOP's 4-week battle plan to save its majority

With about a month left before the November midterms, House Republican leaders have drawn up a messaging plan centered on four themes: the border, misuse of taxpayer money, the economy, and public safety. A memo outlining the approach is going out to GOP lawmakers nationwide, and Fox News Digital obtained it first.

Conference Chair Lisa McClain of Michigan, who leads the party's messaging, told Fox News Digital that these are the issues voters care about most. McClain says Democrats want open borders, reduced police funding, and more of voters' money going elsewhere, along with bigger government, whereas Republicans, in the Michigan lawmaker's words, believe in people.

The push comes as Republicans face an uphill struggle to hold Congress during the second half of President Donald Trump's final term. A Fox News poll projects Democrats winning 215 seats and Republicans 201, leaving 19 toss-ups. Democrats need only three of those to secure a majority, while Republicans would have to take at least 17. For the economy theme, which anchors the second week, the memo urges candidates to talk about leaving Americans with more money and chances to get ahead.
