GOP insiders question Senate campaign focus on single state race
Republican strategists voice concerns about Senate campaign resource distribution ahead of elections. Party leaders face criticism for focusing heavily on Montana while other opportunities remain under-funded
GOP campaign experts arent happy with their partys Senate election planning: the main issue being too much attention on a single state race. Several high-ranking strategists (who asked to stay un-named due to possible pay-back from party heads) think the National Republican Senatorial Committee isnt making smart choices
The NRSC — which some now nick-name the “Montana Republican Senatorial Committee“ — has put most of its money and time into the Montana Senate race; while other win-able states dont get enough support. This focus comes at a time when Republicans have a once-in-a-while good election map setup
The party has a real shot at getting more Senate seats but might miss its chance due to poor resource planning. Some inside sources point to a bigger problem: the way party leaders run things — making choices without listening to experienced campaign workers who know how to win elections in different states
Several key players in the GOPʼs campaign world think this narrow-minded strategy could hurt the partys chances to get a stronger Senate position. The whole situation shows a disconnect between top-level decision makers and on-the-ground political experts who see missed chances in many states
