“America after the Midterm Elections” - CPAC Japan

The panel addresses the flaws and victories of the Republican Party in the midterm elections. Whitaker attributes the losses of Republicans to poor communication of messages. The Democrats were tirelessly campaigning and pressing the abortion issue when Republicans left room for improvement in emphasizing the issue of the economy. The Republicans still emerged victorious in the House of Representatives, but the Japanese media solely communicated a theme of loss for the Republicans. The mainstream media’s inaccurate messaging is another obstacle Republicans have to overcome, and Republicans need to take control of their own narrative.
