Greitens drew attention recently for an online video showing him holding a rifle and saying he’s going “RINO hunting” - referring to an acronym for Republicans in Name Only. “There’s no reason to believe we won’t win Missouri, whoever the nominee is,” Scott said. Eric Greitens (R), who resigned amid scandal and a criminal investigation that was later dropped, would give Democrats a chance to flip it. In what should be a safe Republican open-seat race, Scott dismissed concerns that an August primary victory by former Missouri Gov. Scott said Walker will win because Georgia “is still a Republican state” and the candidate’s been honest about his problems. In one top pickup opportunity, Georgia Republicans nominated Herschel Walker, a football legend who’s faced allegations of domestic violence and other issues in his personal life. NRSC Chairman Rick Scott (Fla.) was optimistic Republicans will pick up multiple seats in the midterm elections, regardless of who’s nominated.īut the quality of the party’s candidates, and how that balances with the midterm environment, will face several big tests. “And he’s in worse shape than Obama was at this time in the first term.” “This is a referendum on Biden,” Scott said. With President Joe Biden’s approval rating hovering around 40% - well below Barack Obama’s standing in 2010 - Scott predicted Republicans will pick up at least four Senate seats now held by Democrats in November, with the party needing a net gain of only one.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee chairman said at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast with reporters that voters don’t “want Washington to pick who the candidates are” and that all Republicans have a good chance to win in a brutal political climate for Democrats. The Florida Republican has taken a hands-off approach so far, spending no money to help ensure the party nominates the most electable candidates as it attempts to take the majority - even as Democratic-aligned outside groups have run ads attempting to influence at least one GOP primary. Rick Scott defended his stewardship of the Senate Republicans’ campaign arm Wednesday, saying he’s been right not to try to steer GOP primaries toward preferred candidates.
