Republicans kick off battleground state tour to ‘catapult’ GOP candidates ‘to victory’



EXCLUSIVE: Republicans are hitting the road Monday 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.
