Republicans Say the NRSC Isn’t Taking the Midterms Seriously

Republicans in Washington are getting increasingly frustrated with their signature Senate campaign arm, with anger centered on its two leaders.

For Sen. Tim Scott’s birthday last year, the executive director of Senate Republicans’ campaign arm, Jennifer DeCasper, required all of her staff to take time off work and board a rented bus.

They were going to surprise Scott, the organization’s chairman, at the airport.

DeCasper had the group make a banner and signs celebrating their boss, and the whole event was filmed. DeCasper had staff edit the video and then posted it on her personal X account.
