In a statement, the House Minority Whip spoke about matters that have contributed to such impressive fundraising. Scalise explained that increasing energy costs, higher crime, the border crisis, and more shows a clear need for conservative leadership. The Louisiana Republican furthermore noted that Americans know the radical left Democrats aren’t truly working for the people.
Earlier this year, Scalise also gave a fair amount of the funds he raised to the GOP. Between April and June of this year, the House Minority Whip sent $4.5 million to the National Republican Congressional Committee.
The power of the midterms
The 2022 midterm elections could arguably be some of the most consequential political races this country has ever seen.
Getting Republicans back into the House and Senate majorities will send a clear message. It will show that defunding the police, opening up the Southern border, pushing for critical race theory in schools, etc., are not acceptable to the American people. Furthermore, a GOP-controlled House and Senate shall provide balance in the federal government, especially contrasted with the Biden-led White House.
