RNC Chair: The Economy, Tax Cuts Will Help Us Win in 2018

‘That will show we’re doing things that are making our country better’

EXCERPT:

MCDANIEL: "Listen, Chris, I knew coming in as chair, that the first midterm of a -- of a sitting president is tough on -- on that party. And the average loss is about 30 seats. So we’ve been preparing for that all year. That’s why we’re already in 22 states. Our data investment is huge. So we know our likely voter universe, we know our persuadable universe. We customize a plan for each voter as to how we're going to turn them out and what message we're going to take to them. But we knew there were going to be headwinds coming our way. What’s happened in the past few months seeing our economy humming, seeing the tax reform passing, these bonus checks being passed out, those are things that are going to help us win. Because we're going to have an accomplishment column that's fairly large to share with our voters and to show that we’re doing things that are making our country better."
