Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel believes it is time for Republicans to move into governing mode and predicted that
failing to keep promises would hurt the party in next year's midterm elections.
"It's hard to win if you don't govern.
If you make these promises, it's going to be hard for us to win in the midterms," McDaniel said. "I think it's early. I think the president's working hard on those issues and we've already seen some very strong governance from the White House with deregulation, with [Neil] Gorsuch, with Keystone [Pipeline], with jobs coming back. But
we have to continue that, and we have to keep promises that we made on the campaign trail."
"It's very easy to unite a party around opposition or wanting to get the White House back. That's a unifying message, and you're seeing the Democrats uniting around being the party of 'no' and the party of 'resist,'" she said. "It is harder when you govern because you have things you have to run on and
sometimes your constituents may not agree on certain things that you're doing. But there's a recognition that we have to maintain majorities
if we're going to accomplish the agenda put forth by President Trump on the campaign trail."
