President Trump’s re-election campaign is expected to publicly hire GOP strategist Chris Carr Wednesday to serve as political director.
Hiring Carr comes just six months before the 2018 midterm elections, and Trump’s campaign manager Brad Parscale told Politico that they expect it will help boost the Republican Party ahead in midterms.
“We are pleased to have Chris Carr join the Trump campaign as our political director as we start to engage in the 2018 midterm elections and support America First candidates across the country,” he explained.
Parscale said in a statement that Carr would “serve as an effective liaison to GOP committees engaged in the midterms as well as the candidates who will come to Washington after the elections to support President Trump’s agenda in Congress.”
Carr served as political director at the Republican National Committee during the 2016 presidential campaign.
“I look forward to supporting the President’s mission to expand our GOP majorities in 2018 and begin to plan for the 2020 campaign after November with the rest of the team,” Carr said in a statement.
