This is your RNC News podcast.The Republican Party has been deeply involved in the ongoing government shutdown, which, according to WLUK-TV FOX 11, is now the longest in U.S. history, with no sign of resolution as Republicans and Democrats remain at a standstill over government funding and expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits. Senate Republicans, including former President Trump, have publicly pushed to eliminate the Senate filibuster, a move aimed at overcoming Democratic opposition and passing their preferred funding legislation. Trump also recently reiterated his position in a "60 Minutes" interview, emphasizing GOP efforts to keep the government open, pay federal workers, and maintain key social programs, while blaming Democrats for repeatedly blocking short-term budget fixes.At the Republican National Committee, the focus has shifted toward Election Day. ABC News reports the RNC has mobilized significant resources, including new personnel, dozens of county captains, over 15,000 volunteers, and the launch of a voter engagement platform called VotePro. This tool is designed to help voters access timely information about polling locations, registration, and early voting. The RNC claims the high-profile gubernatorial race in New Jersey is now "up for grabs," refuting the notion that the Democratic candidate has a secure lead and touting the unity and "boots on the ground" approach among Republicans. President Trump’s endorsement of Republican candidate Jack Ciattarelli has added national attention to the contest.Elsewhere, states like New York, Virginia, and California are hosting headline races. CBS News and CBS YouTube coverage highlights how Republicans are using these elections to measure their momentum from the previous year and inform their strategy moving into the next set of midterms. In California, redistricting has emerged as a major partisan battleground, with Democrats pushing a controversial proposal to let the state legislature control congressional redistricting for the next three cycles—a direct response to GOP efforts in states such as Texas.Recent party events and grassroots gatherings reflect heightened Republican engagement at both local and state levels. In Wisconsin, the party has organized rallies, training events, and membership meetings spread across multiple counties, focusing on issues from election security to celebrating Trump's presidency and building organizing infrastructure for 2026 races, as listed on the Wisconsin GOP’s event calendar.In terms of political stances, Republican leaders have emphasized opposition to increased government spending proposed by Democrats, as well as to policies restoring benefits for undocumented immigrants and supporting progressive projects internationally. GOP messaging has centered on government accountability, border security, and maintaining support for law enforcement and the military, while accusing Democrats of catering to the far left and using the shutdown as a political weapon.These developments show a party intensely focused on unity, turnout, and portraying itself as a defender of fiscal responsibility and traditional values ahead of next year’s national contests.
