| RNC Views SCOTUS Fight as Opportunity to Energize Base Ahead of Midterms |
| 2018-07-17 |
| [Free Beacon] The Republican National Committee is seizing the opportunity presented by the upcoming Supreme Court confirmation battle to energize conservative voters ahead of the 2018 midterms. Only minutes after President Donald Trump announced his nomination of U.S. Appeals Court judge Brett Kavanaugh to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy, the RNC unveiled how it planned to litigate the case for confirmation directly in front of the American public. In its efforts, the RNC is relying on methods that previously proved successful in securing the confirmations of Justice Neal Gorsuch, CIA director Gina Haspel, and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. The plan, relying heavily on the RNC's extensive field, data, and digital operations, is premised on two phases. The first, which has already begun, is centered on educating voters to Kavanaugh's judicial record and qualifications. To that end, a significant portion of the RNC's resources will be consigned to pushing back against distortions likely to be made of Kavanaugh's personal and professional life. |
