WASHINGTON - The Republican National Committee (RNC) released today a new episode of “Real America,” a podcast hosted by RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel. This new episode features North Carolina Congressman and U.S. Senate Candidate Ted Budd. Chairwoman McDaniel and Rep. Budd discuss his missionary work in the former Soviet Union, the importance of school choice, the Democrats’ war on the Second Amendment, and the top issues on voters’ minds this November.
“We're seeing an exodus from the Democrat Party to the Republican Party, from people who have legally come to this country, from communist countries, from socialist countries, because they gave up everything to come to America where they could have freedom of religion and freedom of speech and freedom of thought because they understand that oppression,” explained Chairwoman McDaniel.
“We want a say in our kids' education, and whether it's parents choosing to homeschool or whether it's parents choosing to step up and be on the school board. We're seeing they're the new heroes... it's parents wanting a say in their kids' education,” said Rep. Budd. “And that spectrum runs for, you know, being involved in PTA, being involved on the school board level running for office there, or whether it's homeschooling your kids. There's the whole spectrum of parental engagement.”
“Real America” features stories from outside the beltway, highlights Republican leadership and shows how Republican policies are leading America’s comeback and working for real Americans. Chairwoman McDaniel is offering the platform for Republican leaders to share their successes and for listeners to hear real stories from the exciting, leading voices in our Party. Season Two launched this year and has featured President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, Senator John Kennedy, Rep. Byron Donalds, Rep. Dan Crenshaw, Rep. Michelle Steel, Rep. Young Kim, ACU Chairman Matt Schlapp, Texas Congressional Candidate Wesley Hunt, SBA Pro-life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser, Senator Ron Johnson, former RNC Finance Chair Todd Ricketts, Pennsylvania Senate Candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz, former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer, and Georgia Senate Candidate Herschel Walker.
