RNC chair: Republicans who distance themselves from Trump are hurting themselves

ABC’s George Stephanopoulos asked McDaniel whether she is starting to see GOP senators “running on a separate track from President Trump.”

“I’m not,” McDaniel responded. “I think all of them have been running those similar races all along.”

The RNC chairwoman noted the levels of enthusiasm for Trump’s campaign, saying it’s more than he received in 2016.

“We are seeing this huge energy, and we are seeing really great numbers coming out for the president, and this is a race,” she said. “And any Republican that doesn’t recognize that running with the president is going to help them is hurting themselves in the long run.”
