RNC Chair: Our Base Is for Trump and GOP Candidates Should Be ‘Embracing’ Trump

EXCERPT:

HEMMER: "Also this tweet from overseas. And the president sent it out after the results came out. 'Ed Gillespie worked hard but did not embrace me or what I stand for. Don’t forget, Republicans won four out of four House seats, and with the economy doing record numbers, we’ll continue to win bigger than before!' What about that comment about embracing the 45th president?"
MCDANIEL: "Well I can just tell you, I -- I travel the country. I’m going to be in Iowa tonight. Our base is for our president. The enthusiasm for the president is still strong. You are seeing it with the record RNC fundraising. Voters want to see candidates embrace this president. And you saw in Virginia, Raplh Northam said I'm going to work with the president. They want to see things get done, they want to see people work together across party lines. And that’s a lesson I think everyone can take away from last night and in that race in Virginia."
