Exclusive — RNC Chair Michael Whatley to Republicans: ‘We’re in a Great Place to Flip the Senate’

Hannah Knudsen 21 Aug 2024

Republicans are in a “great place to flip the Senate,” Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair Michael Whatley said during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily, giving the lay of the land on down-ballot races across the country.

“Right now, we’re in a great place to flip the Senate. We are going to win that West Virginia seat. I think after Donald Trump went to Montana and campaigned with Tim Sheehy, that Tim is in a great shape,” Whatley said, noting that he is up five percentage points in the polls. If Republicans win those two seats, they flip the Senate, he explained.

“We win those two, we’re going to win the Senate. I think others come along when President Trump has a good day on November 5,” he said, describing the battle for majority in the U.S. House of Representatives as “trench warfare.”

“We’ve got a two-seat majority right now. We’ve got a lot of really, really good candidates. I feel like we’re going to be in a great position to expand that majority in the House, but we need everybody to buckle down,” he pressed.

Still way too early in the game to count your chickens before they're hatched.

The DEMS are just getting started...

Let's see how abortion drives Dem voter turnout.

The unwashed masses are aware that the Heritage Foundation and their lapdogs, Justices Alito and Thomas, are seeking to undo gay marriage, artificial birth control, IVF, and maybe Women's Right to Vote.  Freakin' weirdos.

Malarkey...unless you can give me quotes.

They won't come out and say that they want to overturn this or overturn that.  Instead, they'll suggest that specific rulings and precedents should be reviewed.  Why would they want to review a precedent if they didn't have intent to overturn it?

The mistake liberal legal elites have made is that they put too much faith in legal precedence.  Ephemeral precedents are no substitute for codification as laws and amendments to state and Federal consitutions.

The Supreme Court must revisit and overrule past landmark decisions that legalized the right to obtain contraception, the right to same-sex intimacy and the right to same-sex marriage, conservative Justice Clarence Thomas wrote Friday.

Thomas, in a concurring opinion to the court’s precedent-breaking decision overturning Roe v. Wade and wiping out constitutional protections for abortion rights, said that he would do away with the doctrine of “substantive due process” and explicitly called on the court to overrule the watershed civil rights rulings in Griswold v. Connecticut, Lawrence v. Texas and Obergefell v. Hodges. ...
