New Democratic ads would give Steve Bannon assist in war against Paul Ryan, GOP incumbents

The Democratic party's official campaign arm for House races is unveiling its first ad campaign of the 2018 cycle – and the cable television and radio blitz will prominently featuring the Wisconsin Republican, the group told USA TODAY.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee will cast Ryan and his attempts to unravel Obamacare as an ongoing threat to the health care coverage of millions of Americans.

The television ad, titled "Never Stop," warns voters that Republicans are still "coming after your health care."

Even as Republican efforts to repeal and replace the Obama-era Affordable Care Act have stalled in Congress, the Democrats see a political opportunity in keeping the focus on health care – while capitalizing on Ryan's low approval ratings – ahead of next year's midterm elections. 

That Democrats see the embattled Ryan – rather than Trump himself – as their most urgent target ahead of 2018 underscores that it's GOP leaders and their rank-and-file in the line of fire over the next 12 months.
