NRSC Statement On The Alaska Senate Race

NRSC Statement On The Alaska Senate Race Sunday, October 31, 2010 @ 11:10 AM

Regarding today’s inaccurate report from ABC News suggesting that Republican leaders are no longer supporting Joe Miller in Alaska NRSC Executive Director Rob Jesmer said:

“While I’m sure ABC News enjoyed leading Politico’s Playbook this morning, it might have been more useful if they had actually taken a moment to contact the NRSC before running this inaccurate story. Joe Miller not only has the full support of the NRSC, but he’s actually featured prominently in our TV ad which is running still today statewide in Alaska.”

In addition, NRSC Chairman John Cornyn was asked about this story on ABC’s This Week earlier today and said:

AMANPOUR: “Let me ask you about Joe Miller in Alaska - our Jon Karl, political correspondent, is saying the GOP is basically giving up on Joe Miller or thinking he's not going to win.”

SEN. CORNYN: “That's not the case - what we have done, we are supporting the nominee of our party which is Mr. Miller.”
