House and Senate Republicans widely acknowledge that bad candidates cost them seats in the 2022 election. They just don’t agree on what to do about it in 2024.
Not all losers are equal. Some Republicans who lost primaries last year but are weighing new campaigns are the very candidates party officials would prefer to see in a general election. And in other cases, like with the NRSC’s endorsement of Rep. Jim Banks’ for Senate after former Gov. Mitch Daniels bowed out, the party’s committees are not waiting to dive into primaries.
Others also expressed reservations. Sen. Kevin Cramer said he has “mixed feelings” about the NRSC taking on a more active role in primaries. “Since the new management has come in at the senatorial committee, there’s been a realistic appraisal of where and how Republicans came up short in 2022,” said Steven Law, president of the Senate Leadership Fund, a super PAC tied to McConnell.
Again, party strategists blamed the candidates. There was Majewski, who lost a GOP-leaning Ohio district after misrepresenting his military service. Kent, a far-right Trump enthusiast with ties to white nationalists, lost a Washington State district that was in GOP hands for years.
Rep. Richard Hudson , the new NRCC chair, is inheriting many of the problem candidates from last cycle.
