Republicans' do-nothing strategy

What we’re hearing: The Republicans’ House and Senate campaign arms tell Axios their plan moving forward is to essentially do nothing.

They don’t plan to reallocate resources or test new messaging.

“This is the path to win in terms of holding on to the white, working-class voters that we’ve picked up in the last few cycles, continuing to gain Hispanic voters and winning back some of the suburban voters that we’ve lost,” said NRSC spokesman Chris Hartline.

“I don’t think Virginia is unique. I know people are trying to say, ‘Oh, [Terry] McAuliffe’s just a candidate.’ We’re not buying it,” a spokesman for the NRCC said. “Voters want the opposite of what’s happened so far.”
