The chair to the National Republican Congressional Committee, Tom Emmer says President Joe Biden’s rushed series of executive orders will come back to bite him during midterm elections. Emmer says the NRCC has previously had great success winning congressional seats based on showing constituents the exact job-killing policies Biden has enacted during his first week.
Fox News reports:
“The last cycle we ran and won in districts all over the country by highlighting exactly the policies that these guys, now with the stroke of a pen, have followed through on,” Rep. Tom Emmer said in an interview with Fox News, as he pointed to a flurry of executive orders signed by Biden in the week since the president’s inauguration.
Emmer, who’s staying at the helm of the NRCC – which is the House Republican reelection arm – for the 2022 election cycle, said Wednesday that “if we look at just what he [Biden] did in the first few days with his pen, he killed the Keystone XL Pipeline, which with it goes the 11,000 American jobs.”
Emmer shared six key principles he says are the key to winning back the House next year.
“First and foremost, hold House Democrats accountable for their votes and what they do,” Emmer said. “We use simply their actions and their words.”
He also listed recruiting “talented and diverse candidates,” ensuring that “our campaigns are well funded,” making sure that “the redistricting that’s going to happen during this cycle is fair” and the NRCC knows its audience, and showcasing “a positive, conservative agenda.”
As Biden continues to sign executive orders at a rapid rate he continues to give the NRCC the ammunition it needs to take back the House. Do you think Emmer’s plans will work? Will Biden’s policies work against the Democrats?
