Banks working-class memo goes national
NIKI KELLY | The Journal Gazette
U.S. Rep. Jim Banks, R-3rd, is getting national attention for a memo titled “Cementing GOP as the Working Class Party.”
A recent Axios story says the memo shows Republicans in the House will be doubling down on Donald Trump for the foreseeable future.
Banks – who leads the Republican Study Committee – argues in the memo that “both parties are undergoing coalitional transformations” and the GOP shouldn t fight the trend of corporate donors pulling back from the party.
“Our electoral success in the 2022 midterm election will be determined by our willingness to embrace our new coalition,” the memo says. “House Republicans can broaden our electorate, increase voter turnout, and take back the House by enthusiastically rebranding and reorienting as the Party of the Working Class.”
