Hello there I'm Chuck Todd and this is the Chuck Todd cast.

So we now have a picture of Republicans wins from the midterms and on Tuesday this week

the 2024 campaign officially kicked off the former president Trump's announcement that

he was running the White House again.

So we wanted to know what was going on inside the GOP, the follow-up from the midterms and

what Trump's announcement to do to the internal dynamics.

My guest today are Republican strategists Doug High and Sarah Chamberlain, the president

and CEO of the Republican name street partnership.

You know Sarah I'll start with you.

You know to me the result of the midterms was known before the midterms meaning it was

more likely that there wasn't going to be a gigantic change right.

We were literally fighting over a couple of Senate seat switches and the idea was it's

going to be 20 to 25 house seats or 10 to 15 right it ends up less than 10.

But my whole thesis was the question is the losing party was going to have to deal with

its divisions first the winning party could paper over those divisions.

And look I think some of us thought we were going to be having the you two wouldn't be

on.

I'd be having two Democrats on to talk about wokeness versus the pragmatists but guess

what?

They don't have the problem it's Trump ism versus pragmatism.

So Sarah here we are and I have to tell you the fact that it's everybody from the right

that's complaining who's sticking up for the mainstream in the GOP and where do you guys
