As a wave of Republican protests led by former President Donald Trump threatens to disrupt the results of Tuesday’s vote, party leader Ronna McDaniel also said she is confident in the “good momentum” for Conservatives to swing Congress to the right.
For two years, President Joe Biden’s Democrats have held a narrow majority in the House of Representatives and a single majority, held by Vice President Kamala Harris, in the Senate.
Republican candidates in both houses of Washington, as well as in all local ballots, including the state governor election, “want to be sure that the race is fair and transparent so that we can unfold the process, and then we will accept the results.” , assured Ronna McDaniel on CNN.
The party leader reiterated that Republican candidates — victorious or losing — would respect the vote at the ballot box Tuesday night, contradicting a number of statements by leaders close to their champion Donald Trump, who never acknowledged his defeat in the November presidential election 2020
Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, for example, refused to say she would respect the result if she lost to her Democratic opponent in the divided southern US state.
The same is true in Wisconsin (North), where outgoing Republican Senator Ron Johnson did not say he would bow to Democrat Mandela Barnes in the event of a loss.
About 300 Republican candidates would stand ready to challenge the results of Tuesday night’s national and local elections, according to the Democrat and analyst camp.
When asked about the people supervising certain pre-election locations, she assured that “no one should intimidate voters” while defending the right to monitor the election process.
The polls are predicting a clear victory in the House of Representatives for the Republicans, who could also regain control of the Senate.
At campaign rallies in Pennsylvania on Saturday, Joe Biden and his predecessor Barack Obama urged their constituents to mobilize in defense of “democracy.” Opposite them, former President Donald Trump, who dreams of revenge in the 2024 presidential election, urged his supporters to vote in the general election to provoke “a huge wave” of Republicans and “save the American dream.”
