Shortcomings in Republican efforts during the elections are a reason Michael Steele should not continue as chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC), a senator said in an interview Sunday.
"Our ground game was not as strong as it could've been. We were outmanned on the ground," Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) said on Fox New Sunday.
DeMint said Steele should be ousted because Republicans could have done a better job reaching voters.
Noting that he appreciated Steele's service, DeMint joined a current of criticism for GOP fundraising and get-out-the-vote efforts after the elections. These assessments have dogged the RNC chairman despite Republican gains.
"We need a strong national Republican organization to help organize the Tea Parties and other citizen action organizations," DeMint said, referring to the 2012 elections. |
