Wednesday on MSNBC’s “MTP Daily,” Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel said Rep.-elect Karen Handel’s victory in Georgia’s 6th Congressional District’s special election means her party’s strategy going forward is to fully embrace President Donald Trump’s agenda.
Romney McDaniel said, “President Trump energizes our base. He gets Republicans out. They are 100 percent with him. And they are following his agenda. They want to see Congress help the president accomplish his agenda with the repeal and replace Obamacare—with tax reform. We saw that message in November. Now we see that message in these four special elections, and bringing the president into these races has only energized our base more. So I think that’s a good strategy.”
She added, “I think you should bring the President in. I do. He’s energized our base in all of these specials and our base notices if you walk away. So we want to support the leader of our party and people want to see things get done.”
