WASHINGTON - The Republican National Committee (RNC) released today a special election edition episode of “Real America,” a podcast hosted by RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel. This new episode features a conversation with Chairwoman McDaniel and RNC Political Director Elliott Echols to discuss the political landscape with just days to go before the midterm elections, how to vote and get involved with your community, and the RNC’s investments into our grassroots ground game.
“When you talk to somebody about issues you care about, that makes a difference. And when that person can say, let me talk to you about what the Republican Party stands for and the Commitment to America, and we want to tackle inflation, and we want to bring energy independence, and we want to restore sanity at our southern border, and we want to stop the flow of drugs, and we want to stop crime that's happening, and we want to restore our kids back to the education they deserve instead of what the Democrats have done,” said Chairwoman McDaniel. “There are so many issues that we can talk about. I think this election is about common sense. The things that the Republicans are running on make sense. We want safe communities. We want our kids to have a good education. We want to be able to live the American dream and prosper and not have to be paying crazy gas prices and inflation. These are really common sense issues. We don't want to worry about telling our kids about fentanyl. Right. These are the types of things that make a difference... Get your family to vote, volunteer, go to protectthevote.com, vote.gop and gop.com.”
“The investment that the RNC has made is not just six months before an election. It's a year and a half. It's almost two years before an election. And a lot of our efforts are training and it's developing the relationship with our volunteers beforehand, because since September 15th, when you could go vote in certain states, Minnesota, North Carolina, we've made more than 40 million of our, of our 90 million volunteer voter contacts...” explained Echols. “So we spend so much time developing relationships with our volunteers and training them so that when it's the most important time to get out the vote, when voters have a ballot in their hand or they have the ability to go vote early in-person, we can then really turn it on and then we can have people flood the streets. We can go door-to-door and then get our friends and neighbors out when it actually matters the most.”
“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.
