Chairwoman McDaniel: Republicans Outpaced Democrat Turn-Out By 100,000 Votes In PA
CHAIRWOMAN RONNA MCDANIEL: The thing that we're taking away from last night is first of all, Republicans outpaced Democrat turnout by 100,000 votes. It is the first time we've beat the Democrats in 10 years in this type of primary situation. We also are going up against a Democrat candidate in Fetterman who is an acclaimed Democrat Socialist. So, if you look at what DeBlasio did to New York City, that's what Fetterman would do for Pennsylvania. You would see defund the police, you would see getting rid of energy independence, which is so important to the western side of Pennsylvania with those coal miners. He would be a disaster for Pennsylvania. The other key factor is, Republicans have outpaced Democrats in voter registrations four-to-one since 2020. So, I absolutely think we'll pick up that Senate seat with either of these candidates.
Chairwoman McDaniel: Voters Are Turning To Republicans For New Leadership
CHAIRWOMAN MCDANIEL: If you are not having a competitive race on the Democrat side it is hard to do apples to apples. In North Carolina, we had competitive races not just in the Senate level but also at a lot of House seats as well, and same with Pennsylvania. I think those really do match up where you can look at the overall turnout and correlate that Republicans had more energy. In Texas, something that we saw was Republicans had 500,000 more voters than Democrats. We had a massive turnout in Texas. We saw the same in Ohio. This is something we have seen consistently throughout the year. Why is that? We know Biden is underwater in his numbers and inflation is hurting average Americans and gas prices are hurting people. We know there is a baby formula shortage that this Administration is not addressing and it seems every time a crisis comes up, they are ill-prepared, and that's why we're seeing voters look at Republicans and say, ‘maybe we need to switch leadership in Washington and put Republicans in charge of the Senate and the House in the midterm elections.’
