The Republican National Committee has had a rough few cycles since winning the presidency, the House of Representatives, and the Senate in 2016.

In 2018, the party lost control of the House of Representatives, losing 41 seats. In 2020, it lost the presidency and control of the Senate. And in 2022, despite an unpopular president, it only managed to win a razor-thin majority in the House while failing to flip control of the Senate despite several prime pick-up opportunities.
