RNC chair Ronna McDaniel ‘optimistic’ about Republicans' chances in the midterms

Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel says economic issues outweigh social issues like abortion for voters, which could pave the way for GOP midterm success.

EXCLUSIVE: Republicans are hitting the road this week for their "Take Back Our Country Tour." GOP party leaders will campaign for Senate and House candidates in over a dozen battleground states in an effort to "catapult Republican candidates to victory" with less than a month before voters cast ballots in the midterm elections.

Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel, National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Chairman Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., and National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) Chairman Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Minn., are crisscrossing the country to rally support for Republicans.

"Republicans are more united than ever to elect Republicans up and down the ballot and take back the House and Senate," McDaniel, Scott and Emmer said in an exclusive statement to Fox News Digital.

"Voters have nominated an incredible slate of Republican candidates that offer a clear alternative to Democrats’ disastrous one-party rule," they said. "The choice is clear this November, and Republicans have commonsense solutions to take back our country."
