Republicans are looking to recruit moderate and experienced candidates for Senate races in 2024 to avoid a repeat of losses in the 2022 midterms, GOP campaign experts and conservative commentators told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), the GOP’s campaign arm responsible for Senate elections, is looking to place moderate nominees with elected experience in competitive races, experts told the DCNF. An emphasis on electability offered by experienced candidates, they said, is essential to winning — unlike novice candidates subscribing to former President Donald Trump’s brand of populism.

In the 2022 midterm elections, Trump’s endorsement helped several populist candidates in Arizona, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Georgia win primary races over moderate candidates. All of them went on to lose their elections, which observers ascribed to their Trump-style views that were unpalatable to general election voters, with a “red wave” failing to materialize.
The concern has led to “electability” as being a top priority for candidates endorsed by the NRSC. A spokesperson for Republican Sen. Steve Daines of Montana, the NRSC’s chairman, told the DCNF that his “number one priority is recruiting candidates who can win a primary and a general election.”

A spokesperson for Republican Sen. Steve Daines of Montana, the NRSC’s chairman, told the DCNF that his “number one priority is recruiting candidates who can win a primary and a general election.”
“Republicans failed to make expected Senate gains in 2022’s midterm elections after novice GOP candidates lost critical races.”
Because of Democrat voter fraud.
Its cute theh think we will keep voting for McCaniancs and Grahamnesties.
” Experts “?
Meaning Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski, and Mitt Romney?
And it matters not the vote count if it's a rigged process. That's the 900 pound Rainbow striped gorilla in the middle of the room.
This makes no difference. The D’s and the press lie about every candidate and unaffiliated voters believe them.
Yeah, more Romney-like candidates, that’s the ticket.
Just feel the excitement.
Dominion selects our Government now, Donchaknow?
Might as well vote for Rats.
GOP is the other half of the DNC.
The uniparty had declared war on the citizens of the US.
Why does McConnell think we will vote for his handpicked Candidates?
Please clap
AND because the establishment RINO's wouldn't back or fund the candidates the people chose.
It would have been great if they had supported the last round of candidates. Probably would have made a difference…
Who wants to bet manchin wins again in West Virginia?
And GOPe sabotage.
Maybe he doesn’t. Maybe he just thinks more moderates or dmeocrats who aren’t totally commie/insane may just like voting for the candidate who gets them there, slower, but without the insane crazy defining the left today.
Vote them in and let Trump deal with them. I wouldn’t be worried but then who’s going up against Sherrod Brown in Ohio? Answer nobody. Tester? Nobody but a vet with money nobody’s heard of. Mancin? A rino we’d better be happy with. That’s one out of 3. The other competitive seats are not being contested. It’s not us. It’s our leadership.
Sounds like this GOP spokesperson wants to elect the UNI PARTY. He has no ‘fight’ in him. Sad.
