NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.—Within the backdrop of a rainstorm passing over Orange County, conservative candidates gathered the evening of Nov. 8 at the Changes Lounge of Newport Beach, adjacent to the area’s Republican Party headquarters.
“Today I want to do the Orange County one-clap because we have a lot of elected officials here tonight,” Orange County Republican Party Chairman Fred Whitaker told those in attendance. “And the biggest parts on the team are the voters themselves, and that’s why we’re going to win.”
