Republicans and Upcoming Midterm Elections
As midterm elections continue to approach, members of the Republican Party are hoping to maintain and even increase their power within the government. However, different individuals have various ideas and strategies which they believe the right-wing should adhere to.

This is largely why the GOP should not alienate potential, yet nontraditional Americans who may consider voting for Republican candidates.
