Just like Trump’s first term, out come the RINO snakes.
JUST IN: Tim Scott, fresh off being elected as NRSC Chair, hires former Mike Pence campaign manager and never-Trumper Stephen DeMaura as Executive Director.
If Scott thinks we won’t notice this betrayal, he's in for a rude awakening.

It’s even worse than that. DeMaura has long been involved with political dark money orgs like Americans for Job Security (AJS) and many others. He spun off a polling firm with direct ties to Mary Cheney, Liz Cheney and Dick (pic attached for reference). This also leads to Mike… pic.twitter.com/mjR3IDRPsm

Newly-elected NRSC Chair Tim Scott is hiring Stephen DeMaura, a huge Trump hater & Mike Pence’s 2024 campaign manager, to be the Senatorial Committee’s Executive Director. DeMaura will have massive control over which Senate candidates to fund. Scott promised to help President Trump fulfill his promises, and only a day after getting voted to lead the GOP Senate’s bank account, he’s hiring a never-Trumper who will only help Neocon establishment candidates win. WHAT IS GOING ON?
. This is the most disgusting 180° in the history of 180°s. Why pick a backstabber to direct Senate funding?

Tim Scott’s New NRSC Hire Is Ruffling Feathers Even Before It’s Official
Sources told NOTUS that Scott is tapping Mike Pence’s former campaign manager to be executive director of the Senate GOP’s campaign arm.
By: Reese Gorman and Alex Roarty, NOTS, November 14, 2024:
Sen. Tim Scott’s tenure as chairman of the Senate GOP’s campaign arm is starting with a controversial hire.
According to six sources familiar with the matter, Stephen DeMaura — the former campaign manager for Mike Pence’s most recent presidential campaign — is expected to be the new executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
[….]The NRSC and Trump will have to work closely together next cycle — and Trump very publicly does not have a good relationship with his former vice president, after Pence declined to overturn the Electoral College and a violent mob took over the Capitol while chanting “hang Mike Pence.”
Republicans worry that GOP incumbents in South Carolina (represented by Sen. Lindsey Graham), Maine (Sen. Susan Collins) and Texas (Sen. John Cornyn) could face potentially difficult primaries. Each of them is viewed as more establishment and less “Trumpy,” putting them at risk in a GOP primary.
The party will also need to replace retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell in Kentucky while navigating an open primary to take on Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in a seat viewed as one of the GOP’s best pickup opportunities of 2026.
Republicans will defend a 53-seat majority in the midterm elections in 2026, meaning they can lose, at most, a net of three seats while keeping control of the legislative body. The party is expected to face potentially stiff challenges in North Carolina, Maine, Iowa and Ohio, which will have a special election to replace Vice President-elect JD Vance.
Executive directors at the congressional political committees often act like campaign managers on individual campaigns, responsible for hiring other key positions and leading the group’s overall strategy to raise money and recruit potential candidates. They are often seen as second-in-command at the committees, junior only to the chair of the group.
[…]
One source close to Trump emphasized that Republicans just took back control of the Senate because this cycle’s NRSC team “leaned into Trump and MAGA,” whereas this cycle’s group is not starting out on the right foot.
“The new team should take the same approach, not hire anti-Trumpers,” the source close to Trump told NOTUS.
