Exclusive — House GOP Campaign Chief to Democrats: ‘You Can Either Retire, or Lose Next Fall’
Matthew Boyle 8 Nov 2021Washington, DC
House GOP campaign chief Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) told Breitbart News exclusively that he has a very clear message for any House Democrat even remotely vulnerable ahead of next year’s midterm congressional elections: Retire, or lose.
“After Virginia, New Jersey, and these other races across the country last week, I really believe that even if you were in a district that Joe Biden won by 10 points just 12 months ago, you’re at risk—which is why I’ve said very clearly over Thanksgiving, these targeted Democrats have a choice to make,” Emmer told Breitbart News exclusively on Monday. “I mean, you can either retire, or you can lose next fall. It’s up to you.”
A number of Democrats, like Reps. Cheri Bustos (D-IL), Ron Kind (D-WI), Filemon Vela (D-TX), Ann Kirkpatrick (D-AZ), and more have already announced they are retiring and not running for reelection. Others, like Reps. Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX), Conor Lamb (D-PA), and more are running for other offices and abandoning their current congressional districts.
Emmer chairs the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), which, on Monday evening, is hosting its annual fundraising dinner with former President Donald Trump in Tampa, Florida. Monday’s NRCC dinner, and Emmer’s interview with Breitbart News, comes exactly one year—365 days—before the 2022 midterm elections.
“It’s exactly 12 months from today,” Emmer said.
