GOP Leaders Deal Blow To Chamber Of Commerce – Won’t Meet With Them For Backing Democrats

The Republican Party’s leadership has dealt a major blow to the US Chamber of Commerce, announcing they will no longer meet with the organization after it backed several Democratic candidates in the 2018 midterm elections.

The US Chamber of Commerce is a powerful lobbying organization representing the interests of businesses both large and small. It has traditionally been a major ally of the Republican Party, backing Republican candidates and lobbying for legislation that benefits businesses. However, in the 2018 midterm elections, the Chamber of Commerce backed several Democratic candidates and the Republican leadership has now taken notice.

In a statement released by the Republican National Committee (RNC), the organization said it was “disappointed” in the Chamber’s decision to support Democrats and that it would no longer meet with the organization. The statement said the RNC “will not meet with the Chamber of Commerce until it reverses its decision to support Democrats.”

The RNC’s decision is a major blow to the Chamber of Commerce, which relies on access to Republican leaders to promote its agenda. Without access to the RNC, the Chamber may find it difficult to influence Republican policies, particularly in the Senate, where the party currently holds a slim majority.

The Chamber of Commerce has defended its decision to back Democrats, arguing that the organization is “nonpartisan” and that it is “not beholden to any political party.” The organization has also pointed out that it has backed Republican candidates in the past, including in the 2018 midterms.

However, the Republican leadership has not been swayed by the Chamber’s arguments. RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has said that the Chamber’s decision to back Democrats is “not acceptable” and that the organization is “not living up to its non-partisan reputation.”

The rift between the Republican Party and the Chamber of Commerce is a major blow to the business community, which relies on the organization to advocate for its interests. Without access to Republican leaders, the Chamber may find it more difficult to influence legislation that benefits businesses.

The dispute is also a major setback for the Republican Party, which relies on the Chamber of Commerce for financial support and to help shape its policies. Without the Chamber’s backing, the Republican Party may find it more difficult to pass legislation that benefits businesses.

The dispute between the Republican Party and the Chamber of Commerce is likely to continue in the coming months, as the organization continues to back Democrats and the Republican leadership continues to refuse to meet with the organization. It remains to be seen how the dispute will be resolved, but it is clear that the business community has been dealt a major blow by the Republican Party’s decision to cut ties with the Chamber of Commerce.
