Senior Republicans on Wednesday tapped Rep. Karen Handel, R-Ga., to advise colleagues on surviving a potentially brutal midterm election driven by President Trump’s polarizing leadership.

Rep. Steve Stivers of Ohio, chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, said he asked Handel to share insight during a conference-wide meeting held to discuss 2018, because the congresswoman has practical experience in balancing the unique challenges of running as a Republican in the Trump era.
