Chairman Kyle Hupfer and other members of the Republican National Committee's legal team assist in the U.S. Virgin Islands Territorial Caucus that occurred earlier this week. |
This week, as General Counsel of the Republican National Committee (RNC), I was in St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, along with other members of our legal team, to assist in the territory's caucus to elect a state chairman, national committeewoman and committeeman, and state committee members.
It was a good reminder of what our party is all about — people — and how, as a grassroots organization, we empower them to effect change in their communities.
It's this continued focus, this focus on people, that will lead our party to victory this November. Because unlike the Democrats who have failed to realize that their policies are harmful, that their policies have made people worse off, Republicans will be championing policies that counter inflation, unleash American energy, secure our border, and champion American greatness.

On Monday, Gov. Holcomb, Secretary of Commerce Brad Chambers, and other members of the Hoosier delegation landed in Slovakia in central Europe. This marked Gov. Holcomb's 10th international economic development trip and his second to the country.
While in Slovakia, Gov. Holcomb and the First Lady placed a wreath at the Gate of Freedom in Bratislava, which honors the victims of communism who tried to cross the Iron Curtain and escape into freedom between 1948 - 1949. He also met with Ukrainian refugees who have found refuge in the country, and offered Hoosier support to meet their needs. Gov. Holcomb also met with many officials of the Slovak Republic including the Prime Minister, the Minister of Defense, and members of the Slovak Investment and Trade Development Agency, as well as the U.S. Ambassador to the Slovak Republic Bridget Brink.
The Hoosier delegation also traveled to Israel, which marked Gov. Holcomb's third trip to the country. |

Op-Ed: "Extending 'Hoosier Hospitality' Beyond Borders"
|
On Sunday, Gov. Holcomb released an op-ed in the Northwest Indiana Times that, among other things, noted that Indiana is selling off nearly $150 million of Russian-related investments after he ordered a review of the state's financial ties to Russia.
"Our efforts alone won't be enough, but we will contribute. Indeed, the world must be clear in words and even more so in actions," wrote Gov. Holcomb.

Mike Pence Sits Down on RNC Chairwoman's Podcast "Real America" |
On Tuesday, the Republican National Committee (RNC) released a new episode of Real America, a podcast hosted by RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel. In this episode, Chairwoman McDaniel sat down with Vice President Mike Pence to discuss the Biden administration’s failures on the world stage, the war in Ukraine, the Supreme Court, and the long record of successes from the Trump-Pence administration.
“The reality is from the first days of the Biden administration you literally saw the reopening of the Iran nuclear deal, you saw an administration that stood silent while rockets showered down on our most cherished ally, Israel. You saw an administration shut down the Keystone Pipeline in our country and then approved the Nord Stream 2 pipeline for the Russians to Europe. And, of course, the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. I believe all send a message of weakness to the world, and weakness arouses evil,” said Vice President Pence.

NBC News Poll: Midterm Environment Looks More Like 2010 Than 2018 |
On Sunday, NBC News released their latest poll which found that Joe Biden’s overall job approval rating had declined to 40%, the lowest level of his presidency, and that Republicans enjoyed a 2-point lead on the generic Congressional ballot. But that doesn't tell the full story.
From First Read:
"For starters, the R+2 showing is the GOP’s best score on congressional preference in our poll since 2014. "And you remember what happened in the 2014 midterms.
"What’s more, the NBC News poll shows a midterm environment that looks a lot more like 2010 (when the GOP won the House) than 2018 (when Democrats did).
"Republicans are ahead among independents by double digits; the GOP has a larger lead with men than Dems do with women; and white voters have gone from R+5 in 2018 to R+17 now.
"Finally, and perhaps most importantly, our NBC News poll shows Republicans with a whopping 17-point advantage in enthusiasm, with 67 percent of Republicans indicating a high level of interest in the midterms (either a “9” or “10” on a 10-point scale), compared with 50 percent for Democrats." |
