Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel identified a significant reason why the GOP underperformed during the Nov. 8 midterms.

“Ticket-splitting was everywhere. We won eight races statewide in Georgia, but then [Sen. Raphael] Warnock wins the runoff. [Sen.] Ron Johnson wins in Wisconsin, but [Gov. Tony] Evers holds the governorship,” McDaniel told WABC 77 on Sunday, describing the phenomenon as “massive” in scope. “It’s not a one size fits all.”
