'Republicans are terrified of being labeled a RINO,' one Republican said.
"Republicans are terrified of being labeled a RINO," one Republican said.Former President Barack Obama is greeted by former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie upon arriving in Atlantic City, N.J., on Oct. 31, 2012 to visit areas hardest hit by cyclone Sandy.as they work with a Democratic White House to help their states recover from election-season, back-to-back hurricanes while managing the optics of appearing too close to a party their base despises.
"It's a bit of a balancing act. I don't think that any of these Republican governors are reticent to speak to Biden. In fact, it's their job. They need to do that," the person said. "But are they more measured or careful about publicly bro-hugging like Christie and Obama did on the tarmac? I'm sure that will never happen again."Republicans striking that balance include Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis.
Trump is also hammering the White House for its response, which the Florida operative said "probably" limits other Republicans' bandwidth for positive reviews of the federal response. "Elected Republicans are terrified of being labeled a RINO. The Republican base views Democrats as the enemy and why would you ever hug your enemy unless you were soft on them?" said GOP strategist Alex Conant, referencing a modern-day slur for "Republican In Name Only.
