Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel blames a divided GOP for “ticket-splitting” in the midterms for the failure of the party to win Senate control or gain an even larger House majority.
“The RNC, we don’t pick the candidates; the voters do,” McDaniel told Sunday’s “The Cats Roundtable” on FM 77 WABC Radio New York. “We don’t do the messaging; that’s up to the campaigns.
“But we do do turnout. The one thing we’re seeing right now is that turnout was sky high, but Republicans didn’t vote for every Republican candidate.”
Ultimately, divided Republicans who turned out voted for Democrats in some key battleground states, according to McDaniel.
