FIRST ON FOX : On the eve of the deadline for Americans to file their taxes, House Republicans are taking aim at Democrats for voting against the tax cuts the GOP passed and President Donald Trump signed into law last summer. The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), the House GOP's campaign arm, on Tuesday launched ads targeting 28 potentially vulnerable Democrats in this year's midterms for "voting for the largest tax hike since World War II and making working families' lives harder."
