EVEN AFTER SUFFERING multiple state-wide losses on the issue, the Republican Party is not backing down on abortion, party chair Ronna McDaniel said.

“I’m proud to be a pro-life party, but we can win on this message,” McDaniel said on Sunday’s Meet the Press. “The American people are where we are, and they want common sense limitations. They want more access to adoption. We want to make sure that there’s pregnancy crisis centers. These are things we can win on.”

    Not to burst bubbles, but 2022 saw them take the House back. What they’ve done with it 🤷‍♂️ But it’s still a win.

      If you are supposed to win 30 plus house seats and only get 9 and are gonna take control of the senate but you lose a extra seat giving democrats the majority I think I would consider that losing. I think it’s worse because historically Republicans should have won the house and senate no problem but got absolutely destroyed.

      Yes, but they won far fewer seats than they were projected to. They should have had something like a 30 seat majority, but currently only have 9. A sane party would have looked at that as a warning sign, but…

      they didn’t really win so much as the democrats lost.

      they were projected to get like 60 seats and only got a majority of like four.
